<p><strong>Adam Engst </strong>and <strong>Chuck Joiner </strong>paid a virtual visit to the <strong>Diablo Valley Mac User Group</strong>, and the discussion was wide-ranging from start to finish. We started off talking about some changes at <a href="http://tidbits.com"><strong>TidBITS</strong></a>, the challenges of covering Apple news and how it has changed through the years. Next, Adam discusses why his visit to an Apple Store after a 3-year gap altered his impressions of some of Apple’s products, including iMacs, Apple Watches, iPads, and iPad accessories. (Part 1) </p>
