    Did the podcast ever get off the ground last night? I saw the 'cast on ustream fail a few times. I'm 27, fwiw.

    Enjoyed your show. It was #20 and the first time I’ve heard of it. At the end you asked for our ages. I’ll be 58 next month(Sept). I’m going to try and figure out how to get your podcasts coming to my itunes acct regularly so I can listen to them on my ipod touch. I’m particularily interested in all info on jailbreaking. I’ve been to the jailbreakme.com site on my ipod but I’ve held off because of 2 or 3 key questions I have. Maybe I’ll hear them answered on your show. Best of luck to you, Ray Norris norris8816@comcast.net
