Talkcast tonight, 10 pm ET: the Mac's 25th birthday show

Last week, the Mikes played a selection of your phone calls and best wishes for Steve Jobs. You can, of course, download the show from Talkshoe or subscribe in iTunes.

This week, Christina Warren, Steve Sande and I will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Mac platform, reminiscing about our first Mac experiences, and sharing our predictions for the next 25 years of Mac. We'll also discuss the news of the week, including Apple's first-quarter conference call, the White House's IT woes, and problems with bootleg copies of iWork '09. All this, and your input too! What could be better?

To participate on TalkShoe, you can use the browser-only client, or you can also use the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for maximum fun, you should call in. For the web UI, just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm Sunday. To call in on regular phone or VOIP lines (take advantange of your free cellphone weekend minutes if you like): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 -- during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *-8. Talk with you then!
