MacBites is the UK based podcast for all things Apple related, presented by Elaine Giles and Mike Thomas (aka The MacBites Crew).

Through the podcast, website and newsletter, we bring you tips and tricks and valuable first hand experiences of the Mac platform, iPhone, iPad, iPod and AppleTV … and anything else Apple may tempt us with.

As well as the podcast, the legendary MacBites Live chatroom is THE place to be when there’s an Apple announcement. Elaine, Mike and The MacBiters enjoy the friendly, vibrant environment to chat and debate about the latest news from Cupertino.

I’m Elaine Giles and I’m an IT professional based in Manchester, UK. I switched to a Mac in April 2006 after what proved to be a life changing visit to an Adobe event previewing Lightroom. I can assure you working with computers has never been so rewarding nor so much fun.

I write for the The Training Professional Network, where I also manage two groups, NWIITT and Mac Trainers, The Institute of IT Training North West Group and the North West Adobe Group

My blog is at ElaineGiles.co.uk.

I’m Mike Thomas and I’m an IT professional, who, ironically, works for IBM where I provide IT training and support to 60,000 PC and Windows users world wide – although my mission is to convert those 60,000 people to Macs!
