[WelMac] Mac OS X Special Interest Group meeting

[David Empson]

It has been been a few years since the last meeting, but WelMac is 
reconvening the Mac OS X Special Interest Group for a meeting this 
month to have a closer look at Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

When: Monday 19th November, 7 to 9:30 pm
Where: Turnbull House, 11 Bowen St, Wellington.

Open to all WelMac members (and prospective members).

We have booked the Turnbull room (small room on the 1st floor). If 
you would like to attend this meeting, please e-mail 
president at welmac.org.nz to let me know so that I can gauge numbers. 
If there is a higher demand than expected we might have to shift to a 
larger room, as the Turnbull Room can only hold about ten people.

I intend to repeat this meeting in early December, so don't worry if 
you can't make it this time.

The main goal of this meeting is for those "early adopters" who are 
already running Leopard to compare notes and experiences, and for 
anyone else who wants to run Leopard soon to come along and see it in 
operation, and ask any questions they might have.

I'm now running Leopard as the main operating system on my primary 
computer (MacBook Pro), as well as on my Mac Mini (which isn't doing 
much yet apart from watching TV for me). I expect to have installed 
it on my PowerMac G4 (dual 1 GHz) by the time of this meeting. I'm 
aware of other WelMac members running it on a variety of models 
ranging back as far as an 867 MHz PowerBook G4.

I've had a few teething problems, mostly due to my Mac OS X account 
having migrated originally from Mac OS X 10.1 or 10.2 and having 
picked up some baggage along the way, which Leopard wasn't quite 
handling properly. Most of it is working well and most of my 
important applications have been updated.

This announcement will also be going out to the general membership 
shortly, so please excuse any duplication.
