Welcome back to Memory Protection! We thought it couldn't happen again, and yet yes, it’s happened again! This month Josh & Matt watch another keynote...This time we leave the boring bits by the wayside and dig into what the people really want to hear about: that hot new MacOS 9 Voiceprint feature. Just kidding, we know you want all the details on Apple's new PowerMac G4 and Cinema Display and boy have we got the details, in addition to opinions and a weird energy. Josh was sleepy for this one!
