November Meeting Cancelled due to weather

"Macintosh Apple Potpourri"

will be rescheduled

~~~~~~~~~~  

     The main topic for November is a potpourri - usually "a medley  of flowers or spices creating a pleasant scent". In this case, MacTechnics members will present a series of Macintosh/Apple short subjects based on their individual areas of interest and expertise, creating a pleasant mixture with something for everyone. 

This month's potpourri will include:

iCloud across devices - coordinate, keep up to date.

Catalina - new Mac OS - what you should know.

Uploading photos to Facebook - simplify a complicated process.

Travelogue - iPhone photos of a member's recent trip to Italy.

Sharing family photos - using a Dropbox link.

iPod Touch - the latest information. 

Everyone is invited to share knowledge and ask questions.

Come to learn, to share and simply to enjoy the company
of a group of people who share an interest in Macs.

This meeting (and all meetings) are free and open to the public.

Feel free to bring your own laptop, iPhone or iPad.

   Today's session will be a discussion of Mac news and insights drawn from various sources. The discussion will evolve in part from questions and comments from the group. Mac questions of all kinds are welcome.
