            Don't take this the wrong way please it's likely a sign of my ignorance of all things important to a world without balance, but who are you and why were you on the show?

              Yes, we didn't explain that at all.

              Michael called into the show three times during its first season, discussing primarily CivIV on the Mac. His calls and the co-host responses were then featured in three separate Mailbag segments and episodes.

                Excellent show, it was fun to listen to! Its usually easy for me to offer cunstructive critism but I dont have any for this episode. Just keep doing what your doing.

                  How does one call into the show? Is it really done live? No that's not possible. How do you call into a show with viable content when you haven't a clue what's being discussed? Is this the universe that's being pulled over our eyes and is there a candy store on the other side in which some kid just ate the last orange one?

                    They have a number they give out (I've heard it in most of the episodes). Just call in and leave a voice mail. It isn't done live.

                          And I still reckon the best way to get Civ to run on a Mac is to throw the Mac out the window and buy a PC.




                          I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

                            In all seriousness though - is there anyway to download the Polycast file?

                            Due to some technical difficulties I currently only have internet access at work.

                            Before you say it - I have got permission to use works bandwidth to post here.

                            But my work PC has no sound/speakers - so I want to be able to download the file - onto my laptop - then take it home to listen to.

                            And the system administrator will not let me instal i-Tunes on the work PC either.....

                              Use Firefox and get the Add-on DownloadHelper for a mp3 file. Or wait for a transcript and print it out.
