The nice thing is the store will be closed, so we should be able to pick our spot and not have to compete with people playing music.</div><div><br></div><div>The agenda will be:</div><div><br></div><div>1) News and articles from the Apple world</div><div>2) All the new gear! - New iMacs, Mac Mini, Macbook! A closer look at the new tech</div><div><br></div><div>Also, I'd like some feedback for the November and December meetings - in particular, if there's a time/day people would prefer (rather then Sat. morning), if people would prefer a different location, and requests for topic ideas.</div><div><br></div><div>In particular, if you'd like to attend the meetings but can't because of the items above let me know! I want to make them as convenient as possible for everyone. About a year ago we switched from Sunday afternoon to Saturday morning based on attendee requests, but attendance dropped. So I'm trying again - would a weekday be better?</div><div><br></div><div>For topic ideas- as most of you know, I tend to be pretty technical, and it's been suggested I convert the meetings into a Q&A/tech support/query session - you email me problems you're having, or questions about particular Mac tools/terminology/features; then I pick one or two that appear common and spend some time exploring the issue and underlying technology. Would that be something people would be interested in? I wouldn't want it to devolve into a "let's all deal with my one issue" meeting format, but instead a way for me to present some OSX features and knowledge with more direct impact on your use.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Please join me this Saturday for a look at the new toys, and let me know your feedback!</div><div><br></div><div>Charles</div></body></html>
