Macstock Swap 2019

Macstock Swap is Back!

Macstock Swap LogoDesigned 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!

Mesh Networking on the Road to Macstock with Dave Hamilton

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! In this installment of The Road to Macstock 2017 Chuck and two-time Macstock presenter Dave Hamilton discuss mesh networking and bringing ubiquitous WiFi to your home or office.

The Road to Macstock starts to close down as the event itself draws near, but we aren’t done yet. This time, Dave Hamilton of The Mac Observer and Mac Geek Gab gives us a preview of some of the information he will be delivering when he takes the stage to discuss mesh network routers. Dave talks about the problems mesh routers solve, some of the features you need to be aware of, and when it is appropriate to jump on the mesh network bandwagon.
