Hi Everyone,
Matt Healey, your ever faithful President here, letting you know
what's going on in the world of the WA Macintosh User Group.
Well what a surprise we got last month when we walked into the
meeting room, only to find that we had a new AV system. That's right.
A proper projector and sound system. Thanks Curtin! It's greatly
appreciated. (Now, about that Internet access.) Oh and while I think
of it, thanks again to DigiLife for the loan of the new Intel-based
iMac.
So, what's on this month?
First up, we have our Annual AGM, which in long form means Annual
Annual General Meeting. HA! Take THAT you people who call them ATM
Machines. This is the time were We The People get to elect a new
bunch of people to run WAMUG. If you would like to be one of those
people, you just need to be there on the night and put your hand up
at the appropriate moment. It's as easy as that. Now, on to the next
bit.
Unless you have been living under a rock, which in itself would be
rather uncomfortable, you would have heard that a couple of nasty
programs have been released for the Mac. I am not going to call these
programs viruses, because they are not. These little suckers are
called Trojan Horses, named after that movie with Brad, that guy from
Full-Frontal and the dude with pointy ears and girlie hair. I am
going to show you what they are and how to get rid of them (the
Trojans, not the actors) without having to revert to expensive software.
Next up, Peter is going to show off a program called Disc Label.
Funnily enough, it's a program for making labels for discs, and it
seems to do a decent job as it. Peter will also be showing off how to
type in French, or something to that effect.
Finally, if all goes to plan... someone will have a new, badly named
MacBook Pro to show off.
Well that pretty much sums it up for us this month. I hope to see you
all there.
- Matt Healey
