Macstock Swap is Back!
Designed as a place to help recycle your old, working, gear by delivering it into the hands of folks you know will treasure it as much as you once did, the Macstock Swap Trading Zone is a place for folks to drop off old Apple stuff and pick up new (to you) Apple stuff from others in trade!
Some examples of “stuff” might include: unwanted/unused hardware, software, or even your old Apple collectibles!
As you might expect, there will be a few simple rules we’ll ask everyone to follow:
- Hardware must be complete and in working condition
- iOS devices must have Find my iPhone disabled, signed out, and Erased
- Devices with cables should be neatly bound (no rat’s nests!)
- Software must run on a Mac and include all original discs & licenses
- iPhone/iPad cases or screen protectors must fit current model devices.
- Please: NO cables, NO speakers/headphones, NO Electronics Cases or bags (or similar)
- No money is to change hands
- No taking Guy’s podcasting equipment 🙂
- If any of your “stuff” is left over at the end of Macstock Weekend, we ask that you please take it home again to recycle responsibly.
Help give your old hardware the new home it deserves at Macstock 2019!

Chuck Joiner once again treats us to a behind the scenes look at Macstock, it’s presenters, and sponsors in his special MacVoices video series, The Road to Macstock!
The Road to Macstock takes an unexpected turn as Chuck talks to Elle Newman, who will be coordinating two different activities at the conference. While most of the presenters will be focused on the more intellectual aspects of computer use, Elle will be addressing the physical stresses and strains of those who spend too much time at the keyboard. Her “Body Hacks” session on the first day and “Yoga for Nerds” on the second will teach attendees how to take better care of themselves while working intensely on that next application, novel, or presentation.

The Road to Macstock takes a trip to the kitchen in our discussion with Josh Rensch. His unique presentation will focus on developing workflows to make you more productive by comparing the process to cooking. Making your workflow work for you as well as others, coordinating your efforts, and getting things done more efficiently both in your kitchen and in your projects will be Josh’s focus.

This time, The Road to Macstock takes us to David Ginsburg of In Touch with iOS, who will be talking about note programs at this year’s event. Note applications are a wide and varied bunch, and David will help make sense out of some of his favorites, and discuss how to decide which one(s) are right for you. From Apple’s Notes application to Microsoft OneNote, to whatever your personal favorite is, you will get something useful from this discussion.
