The January meeting was attended by 23 members and guests.

The session started with a lively Q&A session covering things such as applications that run at startup, why Mac A could see Mac B on the network but Mac B couldn't see Mac A and why Safari gives a "blocked plugin" message on certain YouTube videos and requests an update to the Flash plugin but the update doesn't fix it. (We found Firefox works OK with the same plugin)

Michael was unable to attend so we didn’t learn about what a marvellous application Pages is. Hopefully this is a treat for a future meeting.
