I was a huge fan of Bob Dylan’s music from 1963-1970. I didn’t listen to many of Bob’s songs or albums during the following decades, with the exception of his CDs Good As I Been To You and World Gone Wrong from the early 1990s. Good As I Been To You is a raw and raunchy roots music retrospective, and is the better of the pair.

Macally’s iUSBFlash is the best external storage device for an iPad or iPhone we have tested at MyMac, and it is a personal favorite. At roughly a dollar per gigabyte, it is a screaming value.

We took our small family dog with us on the sightseeing trips and also on the first California flights.
