DACS Meeting Set For August 7

At its August 7 general meeting, the Danbury Area Computer Society will be scrutinizing the non-Windows side of computers: Apple computers. The general meeting will start at 7 pm with a computer question and answer session. It will be followed by brief club announcements. The main presentation is at 8 pm. DACS’s August 7 meeting will take place at Danbury Hospital Auditorium. The meetings are always free and open to the public. Friends can be brought along.

 The topics of presentation are an Apple hardware demonstration with an iBook and a Titanium Powerbook, followed by Apple software, such as iDVD, iTunes, and some recent releases from the Macworld. The speakers Matthew Greger of the Business Helper and Gar Reynolds, Apple Computers’ new user group program manager, intend to close the presentation with a demonstration of Apple’s latest operating system, OS X.

 The Apple presentation will be an opportunity to DACS members to compare another computer platform and to discuss its pros and cons among themselves and the speakers. For additional information about DACS and the general meeting, check www.dacs.org.
