[DM-MUG] The meeting tonight

[Victoria L. Herring]

We met tonite and these notes are a brief taste of what we shared. 
The next meeting will be at the usual time and place in late March- 
go to our website, http://www.dmmug.org.

Topics tonight:
1.  Switcher resources [will be posted to web]
2.  Versiontracker.com and Macupdate.com as sites to find free and 
shareware by topic or keyword and updates as well.
3.  We talked about various programs for working with images in a 
variety of ways:  iPhoto, iWeb, Aperture, Lightroom.  This might be a 
good topic to revisit?
4.  Security:  go to the website because there is a detailed 
explanation of security for your Mac.  It's under the News link.
5.  A discussion and demonstration of iChat audio and video [we even 
talked and saw Alan Hansen, now with Apple and formerly our host at 
Haddock].  And a brief mention of Skype [Skype.com].
6.  Sources for security against theft for your laptop, besides 
putting it in a safe deposit vault:  Lojackforlaptops.com and 
Undercover by  orbicule.com are two sites of interest
7.  Discussion of SuperDuper and TimeMachine.
8.  There are fewer magazines that are Mac-oriented here in the US = 
Macworld and Mac|Life;  others from Britain are iCreate and 
MacFormat, which are carried at Borders and maybe elsewhere.

Upcoming Programs:  Leopard Tips and Tricks [such as QuickLook]; 
Repurposing your Macs for April [how to deal with your too-old Macs].
