GUP 4: Don McAllister of ScreenCastsOnline.com
In October of 2007 I bought a 24" iMac that changed my world. To get the most of out of it, I looked for resources to help me get a head start on learning about how to get the most out of my new iMac and learn about the cool software available for it. That's when I discovered a Mac-centric online video tutorial website called ScreenCastsOnline. I immediately subscribed, and have been a member ever since.
I'm pleased to have the founder of ScreenCastsOnline, Don McAllister, on the Gainfully Unemployed Podcast.
