Snow Leopard and MobleMe on October 7th!
09/09/2009 06:02 PM
Hi everyone!
The Chicago Apple User Group is very proud to have Mori Katz from Apple as our keynote speaker for our October, 2009 meeting. She has presented to us before, and did an outstanding job. This time she’ll be sharing her enthusiasm and knowledge about the new OS, called Snow Leopard, and MobileMe.
Snow Leopard is Apple’s newest version of the Macintosh OS. It’s designed to save a ton of space on your hard drive, add the ability for your Mac to use 64-bit computing, it has top of the line technologies for accessibility, and will allow the Mac OS to use Microsoft Exchange Servers, and much more. This is not a feature driven release. Instead, the richness of the new OS is “under the hood”, and it is quite amazing once you see it. The new Mac OS is better, faster and easier, and this will be a front row chance to see it in action, and to learn directly from Mori about why Snow Leopard is so very cool!
In addition, she’ll be showing us MobilMe, which allows your Mail, Calendar and Contacts to stay in sync, incredibly beautiful iPhoto galleries, a personal hard drive on the web, and much more. MobileMe is a great resource for all Mac users.
The logistics of the event:

ProfCast is an all-in-one presentation-to-podcast tool for the Mac that offers an integrated workflow for creating, recording, and publishing podcasts. It provides live presentation recording, synchronization of slides with audio, Keynote and PowerPoint support, RSS generation, and publishing support.
All elements of your presentation, including slide timings, bullet point builds, and voice narration, are recorded. ProfCast allows you to record your presentation as you give it, using either Apple's Keynote or Microsoft PowerPoint! ProfCast also helps you publish your recorded presentation as an enhanced podcast. ProfCast is the perfect solution for educators and professionals looking to
provide more flexible, richer media to supplement traditional pedagogical tools such as books, course packs, or notes. ProfCast is the only application that makes it easy to turn the lecture you are already giving into an enhanced podcast. The result will be complete.
The most significant feature of ProfCast is that it integrates with the educator’s existing teaching process, and doesn’t require additional time to have full impact. It's as simple as Launch, Load and Lecture!
The event is made possible by dues paying members of the Chicago Apple User Group, and their support is greatly appreciated. The logistics of the event are:
