Pick of the Week Segment
I’d like to take just a moment to let our listeners know that our show picks are typically hardware, software and other items of interest that we have individually purchased and actually use and like enough that we want to recommend them to you. They are not paid advertisements or items with which we have an affiliate marketing relationship. We sincerely believe in the picks we bring you at the end of each show.
