Remember that this is the podcast with the announcement for entering the huge new prize give-away for the macCompanion 4th anniversary. Over $4000.00 in prizes to be given away to listeners on podcast #63!!

I know you all remember that just a few months ago the MacReviewCast celebrated it’s first birthday. We celebrated it in style with the biggest prize give-a-way that we could line up. We gave away books, and software, but that wasn’t enough.

Our podcasting partner, Robert Pritchett from the maccompanion had to beat our one year anniversary party because they’re celebrating their FOUR year anniversary! The best part of this party is that you’re all invited! The maccompanion has twice the prizes to give-a-way including Microsoft Office 2004 Standard and Wireless Laser Desktop bundle valued at $500.00! Here are just a few of the other prizes..

- iListen MX 1.7 $180
- PhoneValet 4.03 $170
- Starry Night Pro $150
4 each - Toon Boom Studio Version 3.0 $250
That’s just for starters! There are many, many more software packages and book bundles that we are giving away for the maccompanion 4 year anniversary on the MacReviewCast Podcast.

All you need to do is listen to the MacReviewCast to learn how to sign up for the prize drawing in July.

Well it took a while, but iTunes has the enhanced version of the Mac ReviewCast listed and ready to be subscribed. It’s a little rough around the edges yet, I’m trying to get the RSS feed just right and iTunes has yet to accept my podcast graphics and a few descriptions, but we’ll manage.

Just click on this link and you’ll open up iTunes to the page where you can subscribe to the enhanced version.
