October Meeting - October 11th, 2019.
The Q&A session will start at 7:00 and run to 7:30 PM.

Our apologies, but the details of this month's meeting are still being ironed out. Friday's topic is "To Be Announced" as we don't know which speaker will be available (It is a 3-day Columbus Day weekend). The General Meeting will be at NYIT as usual, the November one is in the planning stage for another session at Apple Roosevelt Field.

★ MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL - $48 for 2020 ACCEPTED ★
We have written checks to NYIT for the Facility Use Fee and to the Agent for the Liability Insurance the college requires. The School is booked for us September through June so our Membership Renewal Drive is now underway.

October is when our Nominating Committee works on the candidates for elected offices, and the By-Laws say that election is held at the November meeting.

Your first meeting is FREE. Annual individual membership is $48.00, which covers all immediate members of your family & gives you access to our monthly electronic newsletter and member-only bulletin board and valuable discounts only available to Macintosh User Group members. Membership applications are available at the check-in desk.

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.
