MacVoices MacVoices #22140: Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus Discusses His Future Plans
The tone for our recent wide-ranging conversation with Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus was set early as Bob formally announced his retirement. Always outspoken, Bob explained why that means he will be leaving Texas, some of his plans for the coming year, and a couple of the services that will help him do it. We also spent some time looking back at Bob’s career, a few of his predictions, and how things have changed for tech journalists. We also discussed how our technology helped get us through the COVID lockdown.
