So if my previous post led you to believe I was going to join the Participation Age more fervently - then you would have thought correctly.

If you are one of those who did succumb to the lure dark side -uhmmm... er... the other dark side, and use iTunes on your PCs or Macs, you may be interested in the Podcasts out there on Sun Desktops in Canada. There are only a few there now but I expect five or six by the end of next week. You can go to the iTunes Music Store and seek out Mapledesk.

If you are more the purist type, or maybe don't have Windows or OS X in your arsenal, then you can get the plain old MP3 (hi-fi and low-fi flavours) from this site.

Show #1 is around the first financial analysis document Forrester Research did on Sun Rays in 2004.

Show #2 is an interview with David Woefle, Chief Technologist at EDS Canada. David talks about why Sun Rays make so much sense in their Call Centers around the world (including one in Canada) and why EDS is working with Sun to provide Sun Ray-based desktop solutions to customers in Canada when it is a good fit.

Show #3 is a video-only podcast where I interview Dr. Keith Wilson around the Sun Ray deployment in the clinic in which he works and what he and his colleagues think of Sun Rays. If not from iTunes, you can watch it on YouTube.com by searching on Sun Ray or ... or you can just click on YouTube from here.

Fingers crossed that this helps move the ball forward with the naysayers out there. Open to suggestions.
