John and Dave kick off this week with two topics no Mac user ever expects to talk about: viruses and defragmentation. Yes, folks, it’s true: sometimes you have to confront those things which you just don’t want to think about. Then it’s off to a more fun topic: integrating cars and technology. Once done there it’s time to dive into the mailbag and answer listener’s questions on the air! Don’t get caught, folks, just listen to your two favorite geeks. It’s all part of your balanced (tech) diet.
