On Tuesday, November 5, George told us about lots of Apple updates. Sue Snell gave us a couple of great tips and George presented on iPadOS and iMacOS. There were a couple of “ah hah!” moments, especially when George showed us how to eliminate pesky items in the background of a photo. 

 

Videos of the presentations are on our Facebook page and also on our website:   https://applejac.typepad.com/ George’s slides on Apple Announcements and Mac OS 15 Sequoia are there as well.

 

Polo and T-shirt orders were taken in the break as we prepare for our 40th Anniversary celebration. For those who ordered, we’ll let you know when they arrive!
