Dman good show, exactly what I was trying to state and have been
saying for a long time. Your correct, its not about the geeks, its
about the adverage everyday person who just simply wants to use a
great box running a great os and get their task accomplished.
Accessibility isn't just for the geeks out there.

No gabe. We don't call it podcasting because it's cool. We call it
podcasting because of the incorporation of rss enclosure tags into
the picture. Folks like The Snowman and Blind Kiss have been
uploading shows to servers for years, but only the geeky ones who
were adept enough to download the file and burn it to a CD were
the ones listening to the shows. Podcasting has automated this
process and with the help of folks like Podshow, people can set up
channels of content to be delivered to wherever they want. As far
as podcast recording software, sound studio is great for recording
the audio, but what he was refering to is a program like cast
laster, which will record the show, allow you to fill in your show
notes, and publish to the blog and ftp server. There is currenly
one in development for the mac. but for now, you'll have to
record it with the helpof something like sound studio and upload
and publish it manually. Before you go off saying that everything
is a fassion, just remember gabe that your computer skills are
more advanced than the average Joe user. Therefore, it's easy for
you to search out some little known 3rd party program that will
fill the need for something like iTunes. however, most folks want
to be able to use what's out there because iTunes does make it easy
to get music. Stop thinking from the perspective of the geeky
tech guy who can and will find alternatives. It's not about us.
It's about the average consumer. We can sit all day long on version
tracker, source forge, etc and find the cool replacements. what we
need to do as a community is to push for accessibility for themost
commonly used aps because that will benefit the greater good.
