LARRY DANIEL aka OZARKSHOME
Podcaster/Product Reviewer (USA)

Professional Experience: Larry has been the president of The Daniel Company of Springfield since 1973, about the same time as he started with computers, a TRS-80. He has had kind of a love hate relationship with computers ever since, mainly on IBM or MS platforms. In early 2005 he stumbled into the local Apple dealer and saw a G5 with 30" screen after previously buying his wife a 20" iMac. No hate since.

He and his wife are real estate agents for Murney Associates and love helping folks from around the world and the U.S. find homes in the Ozarks. They have been in real estate since the very early 1990's. They were among the very first real estate agents to have a presence on the WWW in Missouri and the U.S. You can find them at www.OzarksHome.com.

RICK PRATHER aka RickPrather
Podcaster (USA)

Professional Experience: Area Service and Parts Operations Manager for an import automobile importer. Over 30 years in the automobile industry in a variety of jobs mainly centering around field technical assistance or technician training. Also spent ten years owning a race car dealership and race team management operation in the Chicago area..

From Rick Prather: "Since October 2004 I have been on Long Term Disability after suffering a bout with Guillain Barré Syndrome and therefore have been able to devote almost full time to one of my two favorite hobbies - Macs. The other favorite being Ham Radio. I have been using home computers since the original TRS-80 days. Over the years I have also had Atari 400's, 800's and, when I wanted some of the benefits of the Mac but was too cheap to buy one in the mid '80's, I had a couple or Atari ST's. Then over the next fifteen years or so I wound up with almost all varieties of Intel based computers and used every version of Windows since 3.0. In 2001 I finally decided to buy that Mac I had wanted since '84 and got a Cube. Loved it, then a PowerBook followed by a Dual G5 2.3. In 2006 I decided to join the Intel revolution by replacing my G5 with a 2.0 Ghz CoreDuo iMac and replaced Powerbook with a 2.0 MacBook. I am enjoying the interaction on the forum and have also enjoyed working with the MacOSG Podcast crew for over 100 podcasts."

He's responsible for building maintennance, security and anything else they can throw at him.

From Mic Gazely: "Being relative newcomer to the world of Mac, I am absolutely astonished by my Power Mac G5. The impact on my life has been incredible -- not to just me either. My enthusiasm has spread to my Dad, who is now learning double-quick and keeping me on my toes with tech questions like "how do I do this?" sessions over iChat. Some of these questions I can answer, but the rest I read up about on the Number One resource for all things Apple on the Web, MacOSG. It's a place I am proud to be a part of and hope our podcast can help other Mac "newbies" like me."
