December Meeting - December 14th, 2018.
The Q&A session will start at 7:00 and run to 7:30 PM.

It’s December and it’s Holiday Party time again! Before the festivities begin we’ll have a brief presentation of our “Almost-Annual-Holiday-Gift-Guide,” which will include mention and show-and-tell segments highlighting suggestions for the tech-minded and some items of general interest too. If you’ve got some suggestions to add to the Guide, by all means speak up!

Following the presentations, the party begins! Please bring a nosh or a nibble to share … something like crudités, cheese & crackers, snackable tidbits, fruit, and the like. (Easy on the cookies, cake and other sweets — we’ll have our traditional theme cake — and please, no alcohol or glass containers.) LIMac will also provide plates and utensils, soda, ice and coffee & tea.

Get into the holiday spirit and join us for a fun evening. I hope to see you all there!

You’re Invited to the MacBasics SIG In order to meet the needs of a wider range of members and not put off those with more than beginning skills, we’ve changed not only the name from Beginner SIG, but also the focus of our SIG. We will still cover applications like AppleWorks and simple procedures like setting up your first Mac, file systems and using utilities, but we’ve also matured, as much of Apple’s software and hardware has. So come on down. We'll be where we’ve always been, doing what we’ve always done, but with a new slant and a new name. The MacBasics SIG is led by Geoff Broadhurst and Rick Matteson. The SIG meeting is broken into two sessions. The first is from 7:00 to 7:30PM, during which we will have our own basic level question and answer session. We’ll break for the featured presentation and raffle and come back for the main portion of our SIG meeting from 8:30 to 10 o’clock. Of course before our MacBasics main demonstration we'll have our own novice Q&A session across the hall, while Bradley's dealing with the more complicated problems in the main room. As always come with questions. The MacBasics SIG is not just for beginners, but we do discuss aspects of the Mac that may sometimes be overlooked. There will be a MacBasics SIG meeting this month. The topic has not been announced.

The App SIG, is the latest SIG from LIMac. It's a peer-to-peer group where members share their knowledge and experience with the operating system iOS 7 and their favorite apps for their iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. While the AppleTV does run iOS, it doesn't run user apps. Nevertheless, it can play an important role in the mobile OS realm with streaming video and photos and screen mirroring. Lets help each other here. There will be no App SIG meeting this month.
