Next week: Backups
Next week the June Kachemacs meeting will feature a seminar on backups. We will be at the Homer library on Tuesday, June 3rd. Please bring an external hard drive (firewire preferred, and necessary for a PowerPC) with a capacity of at least twice your Mac’s hard drive if you would like assistance from [...]
Study session
I’ll be back in Homer by Saturday, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a casual study session about Macs? I have a couple of projects I’m working on, and I’m going to sign out one of the cubicles at the library. People would be able to drop in (up to 6 [...]
Library Study Session
I have a bit of work to do pulling this coming week’s meeting together. I thought it would be fun to work together on some Mac projects! I’m going to get a study room at the Library (not a meeting room, just one of the little 6 seat cubicles along the side) so I can [...]
April meeting – pity the fool!

I also thought we could use this theme as an [...]

Mac Basics Class
Kachemacs, check your new Community Schools catalog. Our own Kachemac, Stephen Scarpitta, is running a 5 part series of Mac tutorials at the high school. I would highly encourage the beginning Mac users in the group to attend. As much as we try to cater to all levels of users, including beginners, [...]
Topic for next meeting
I’d like to address the beginners in the next meeting because I’m thinking they’ve been a bit neglected. I’d like to present “Out of the box to configuring Docks: A quick start guide to personalizing your Mac.” We can address user preferences, such as wallpaper, screensavers, and dock organization. Also we can touch on setting [...]
Kachemacs Meeting Tonight
Don’t forget about the meeting tonight at the Caribou, 6-8PM. I know it interferes with the caucuses, but members may come in a bit late to catch the end. It would be very useful if anyone with a laptop would preinstall Chicken of the VNC to their applications folder. This is the free software that will enable [...]
