[WelMac] WelMac: NMG - Meet and Greet (Geek) - event tomorrow 3-5pm Sat.

[Jo Booth]

Just a heads up for those of you that don't have anything on this  
Saturday afternoon...

See

"For those Mac inclined - or drifting that way - WelMac is running a  
Gadgetry + Movie - Meet and Greet on Saturday (3-5pm at Turnbull  
House, Bowen St) - it's a kid friendly event (we dump the kids in  
front of an Apple/Disney/Pixar movie) while the adults (grandparents,  
members , friends, parents and older teens) socialise over coffee,  
(beer/wine) and food and show and tell with their Mac related  
gadgets, computers and stories."

So come along, bring a plate if you want (snacks provided anyway) -  
and bring your children/pet electronic dog/pet computer - or a story  
about how your spouse doesn't let you come to WelMac meetings because  
they ain't fun ;) Or just bring yourself - and be prepared for a bit  
of a social event.  No pressure, no boffins is white lab coats, just  
me geeking on my iMac, and a few other members showing you how they  
use their mac related gadgets.  If you're lucky we might try  
installing Windows Vista on an intel mac just to show you why Mac OS  
is still all good.

If I manage to edit it all together tonight (15:1 ratio) i'll have  
the WelMac kids 1 minute movie - starring Frank Sinatra Jr.  or was  
that Fred Sinatra, and his umbrella raising singing talents to  
Premier ;)
