We had a very good attendance last night, the highest number we've had for quite some time. Numbers were boosted by people from other areas who had come specifically to see the presentation on how to deal with transferring data from your old Mac to a new one and then what needs to be done to the old Mac in order to let it go to its new home safe in the knowledge that your…

A much better turn-out this month, almost up to the good attendances of the summer. Don Collier, of Semaphore Communications in Poole came along to give us a clear, intersting and inspirational (sufficient to get us all downloading trial copies of the program) presentation on Bento3. A modern take on a database from Apple, while not having some of the functionality of some people's sturdy favourite, Bento is nontheless very useful in many areas, being…

Welcome raffle prizes! In view of the very small turnout (our worst for over a year) it…

John welcomed everyone to our meeting on 22 October, which was attended by 22 members. He was the first to present, and gave us a view of some of the features of Preview which were new to many of us.

The new venue is proving quite popular. The broadband is very good although it did slow down a bit when most of the eleven attendees were all downloading or iChatting at once! I can also vouch for the beer - but that's another matter. The room size and its layout really suits a group that just creeps into double figures.
