Dave Hamilton and Bryan Chaffin, now formerly of The Mac Observer, share the story of how one of the web's original Apple news web sites was recently sold. The co-founders talk about what has made TMO special, how the sale came about, and why they hope the new owners make it a bigger success than ever. Dave and Bryan also talk about what they feel they have accomplished with TMO, and what they are most proud of.
