Visit http://www.maccaching.com/latest for a “Christmas” build of MacCaching. Among the new features is an iPod Paperless Caching feature!

MacCaching has taken off a little faster than I had thought. Turns out many others are interested in Mac-Geocaching software. Since cmiyc.com was a originally my personal site (and really my web sandbox), I’ve decided to move MacCaching. The first thing to go is the Blog.
