SouthGeek Ramble and Review [Audio]

MP4 tagging.  Know what it is?  In this brief tip, I explain what MP4 is and why tagging your MP4 files is important.  As I mentioned in the tip, I am not condoning piracy!  I'm simply explaining how and why you should tag your existing MP4 files if you wish to import them into iTunes. Ok, 'nuff said about that. Links: MetaX

In this quick Technology Tip of the Day, I explain how to conserve power and minimize your computer's boot time by using sleep mode.    

This is the final episode of the SouthGeek Ramble and Review.  The show is going on indefinite hiatus.  In this very shortened episode, it's just me explaining my thoughts on why I'm ending the show and expressing my thanks and gratitude to those who have listened and supported the show during its previous 62 escapades trying to make some sense of the tech industry news.
