I'm so grateful for the talent within the MAC group that is willing to share their knowledge and experience at the MAC Computer Club meetings. I've been impressed at every meeting with the quality of the presentations and the questions that are being asked by the group.

We had a very interesting introduction and real-time demo of Google Voice by Arne Mykie at the last meeting. Thanks Arne for showing us what's possible through Google. It was also interesting to see how you've set up your gmail account to receive all your e-mails as you travel to various locations.

Duane Careb gave an excellent presentation on Mobile Me. It was very interesting to see an actual use of "the cloud". He also shared his experience with MiFi which is something I will check out. He's provided a hand-out for me to send out to the group.

It was nice to learn that several other members within the group use Mobile Me so we will have a place to go to get answers to our questions about this subject. Unfortunately Duane will be leaving us for another RV park next week.

Bill Edwards will be speaking to Back-Up options again next week with Jack McCleskey's support. We're encouraging everyone to have a regular back-up system operating for their computer.

Rick Dodds will be looking into the possibility of presenting a new Apple product called Apple Facetime. It allows you to do visual phone calls with other Mac users.

Thanks to everyone that attempted to make a comment on the blog....and all those who were able to make it happen. Keep practicing.
