So we're a little slow on getting things started, but now we've got plenty of Mac and Apple-related news to talk about, so we're holding our first meeting of the year this Thursday. We'll be talking about the new MacBook and MacBook Pros, go over some of our Mac software picks, and as always have a general Q & A. We'll also have some snacks around to get us through the night. Hope to see you there!

When: Thursday October 30th @ 7PM
Where: Howe 1304

We'll be having a meeting this Thursday at 7PM in Howe 1252 (new room!). We'll be discussing the recent Macworld announcements, maybe talking about some other interesting software if anything comes up. As always, we're happy to help answer any questions you may have. See you there.

As is our tradition, AmesMUG will host LANFest this Friday evening at 7PM in the lower level of Howe Hall. LANFest is an event that we host every semester that offers members to bring their computers and have a fun evening of playing network games. Recently we've expanded LANFest to include console games as well (planning on Playstation2 and Wii this time). Pizza, pop and snacks are provided to all paid members of AmesMUG. If you want to attend and haven't paid dues yet, you can pay at LANFest - $10 for the year.

If you'd like to attend LANFest, just show up that night with your computer. We'll provide network cables, power strips, headphones and food. Have questions? Join our mailing list.

This week, we'll be meeting as normal on Thursday, Nov. 15 in Howe 1242 at 7PM. We'll be continuing our discussion and presentation about Leopard. Feel free to come with questions about Leopard or other Mac/iPod/iPhone related questions. You're also welcome to bring your computer and Leopard Install DVD if you'd like some help getting up and running with Leopard.

Our next meeting will be Thursday, November 1st at 7:00 PM in 1246 Howe Hall. We will be showing the new features in Leopard. If you have any questions about upgrading to Leopard this would be a good meeting to attend. Everyone is invited. As always there will be a general Q & A session for your general Mac / iPod / iPhone questions.
