Hi everyone!

Sorry for the short notice! We are very pleased to have a representative from Apple, Inc show us Snow Leopard and MobileMe this Wednesday, October 7, 2009. I'm sure many of you are aware of Snow Leopard and MobileMe, but may not be aware of some of the specifics. Here's your chance to see them up close and personal, without having to buy the disks, and ask questions of a representative from Apple, Inc., directly.

Snow Leopard is the latest OS from Apple, and has a lot of "under the hood" improvements, such as 64 bit computing, QuickTime is quite different, and a lot of the OS is now written in Coca, instead of the legacy code. Should you upgrade? That depends! As usual, just because the OS is new, does NOT mean that all the plug-ins we use are up to date and bug free, and some upgrades (such as EyeTV from Elgato) are going to cost you a few dollars to upgrade to the Snow Leopard version.

MobileMe is Apple's bundled "cloud" software set. It can be used as a backup system (I use it as one of my backups myself), for syncing your mail / contacts / address book, even finding your iPod. Again, this Wednesday will be a clear opportunity to ask questions and see MobileMe running on Snow Leopard, and see if it is right for you.

My apologies again for the late notice! I hope to see many of you at the event. Here are the logistics.

Wednesday, October 7, 2009
7:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m.
The Apple Store
2nd Floor Theater
679 N. Michigan Avenue
Chicago, IL 60611

Feel free to bring friends, switchers, colleagues, and anyone else who might be interested. We'll be going out to eat afterward at Elephant and Castle. I hope to see many of you this Wednesday!

Sincerely,

Russ Conte
Chicago Mac Meetup Organizer
