Justin,

Since you brought up several topics, I'm going to reply in multiple 
messages. That will make it easier to discuss. My first replies are below:

We have been getting some good feedback, and overall very positive. For 
our first effort, I think it's great. I think it's going to get even 
better as we get more practice, and get more feedback on what they're 
interested in hearing.

The topic will be backups: mintBackup, Flyback, and Jungledisk.

#3 would be a good follow-up to this week's show.

But all three are good topics. I like #2, as one of the complaints I 
hear from uneducated Windows fanboys is that since Linux is free, you 
can't get support. That's not my experience at all, and it would be good 
to get the word out.

And there's plenty of interest in media player. These are all good 
ideas. My preference for the sequence would be #3, then #2, then #1.
