Apple is the first major technology company to provide built-in accessibility for its entire product line. The fact that the accessibility is built-in means there is no additional cost for the customer. It also means that a blind Mac owner can independently install the operating system from scratch because accessibility is part of the OS X operating system and not bolted on after the fact.
We live in an amazing time when access to technology is almost endless. Your Mac and iOS devices are awesome, but how can you use them to learn a new skill or craft? Better yet, how can you use them to teach a whole new generation? At Macstock Conference 2016, Adam explores techniques you can use to teach and learn new skills in the areas of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM).
There have been lots of jokes and sayings about living in the future. Well, we do. Is it what we hoped for? What are we doing with it? At Macstock Conference 2016, Chuck will remind you just how cool it is to be where we are now, what we can do with it, and what we can look forward to.
Chuck Joiner brings us to the door of Macstock 2016 in this final installment of The Road to Macstock with Macstock organizer Mike Potter on Chuck’s MacVoices Podcast!
The Road to Macstock wraps up with an update from organizer Mike Potter on the panel of speakers that has been assembled, the international flavor of the attendees, and a fashionable accessory that has been added to the mix. In the absence of Barry Fulk, Mike also adds to the information about the Midwest Mac BBQ companion event, reminds us about the discount code that can save you $25 off admission to everything, and tells us why you may still be able to benefit from Macstock (six months later) even if you can’t make it. Hope to see you at Macstock!

We’re in our final leg on The Road to Macstock with Matt Hillyer in this next installment of The Road to Macstock on Chuck Joiner’s MacVoices Podcast!
The Road to Macstock is winding down as we talk to Matt Hillyer, who will be making a presentation on virtualization in the enterprise environment. Matt tells us how this is a big part of his working life and how it can benefit anyone. Matt is known for his work at a time when Macs had to come in through the back door in business, and talks about why that is no longer necessary.
