So this week, I will be posting two versions of the show, one in enhanced Podcast and one as a standard MP3 version. Please drop me a note and let me know what you think? Should we be keeping the Enhanced version (it is iTunes only) or is MP3 better, since it is more accessible by our listeners. I will still be creating the IBM Internal version as MP3 only.Michael Rowe
