<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This episode took a bit of time to prepare, but it's definitely worth it if you want to know who the players are in the new space race. Rather than being driven by politics and ideology, the new space race promises to make humanity a spacefaring species.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Apple has been making steady headway in the tablet market thanks to the power of the iPad Pro line and working with enterprises on mass deployments. I've always been somewhat squeamish about the thought of taking my 10.5-inch iPad Pro into the field or onto construction sites, but the new <a href="https://www.ruggedtabletpc.com/products/rugged-ipad-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>MobileDemand Rugged Case for 10.5-inch iPad Pro</strong></a> (Introductory pricing at $69.95) has changed my mind.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Last night, Marty Edwards and I got together for another online chat about tech and life in general, and as it turned out, this was basically Part 2 of last week's show.

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I know a lot of Mac users who are in the same boat that I am -- they have hundreds or thousands of photos that are in albums collecting dust, and they've somehow inherited an equal number of photos from elderly relatives. It would be wonderful to scan those images for use in Apple's Photos app or a similar third-party Mac program, but flatbed scanners are slow and scanning services are ridiculously priced. Epson's new <a href="https://epson.com/For-Home/Scanners/Photo-Scanners/FastFoto-FF-680W-Wireless-High-speed-Photo-and-Document-Scanning-System/p/B11B237201" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FastFoto FF-680W</a> (US$599.99) looks like it may be a reasonably priced solution to get those priceless images into a digital format.</p>
