Summer is starting to beckon us to the great outdoors . . . its 81° and rising, with clear skies, lots of sun and high humidity. This hardly seems like the time to be held up inside starring at a computer screen. Instead, it is a great time to activate your mobile media, whether its a laptop, iPod, iPad or other companion, that needs to be charged up, backed up, and taken with you. Get yourself ready for fun in the sun, AND our upcoming appleJAC MUG Annual Picnic.
At our last meeting, Marian Petrides showed us her favorite gadget as the iPad iBook reader, Dan Walsh illustrated “Masters Gold Tournament” as his favorite iPhone app in addition to Tom Vaughn who demonstrated “pUniverse”. We revisited the iPad with stories from a number of members about their experiences over the past month. Larry Garvin then presented Mariner Paperless and his Fujitsu ScanSnap S300M Scanner. Alice Kopp again provided another interesting perspective on our website. The evening’s door prize winners included:
Poet Flyer (book by John Knapp)..............................Wilma Levy

Our next meeting will be the Annual Picnic (rain or shine) at the Landwehr pool, 2103 Scenic Drive, Jefferson City. We will provide hamburgers and hotdogs, condiments, napkins, plates, cups, plasticware, ice and such. You bring your favorite beverage, side dish or dessert (and lawn chairs), plus friends and family that you would like to share with us.
Mark your calendar NOW for the appleJAC Macintosh Users Group Annual Picnic on Tuesday, June 8, 2010, at 6:00 pm. Bring family, friends and new members back to the home (and swimming pool) of Peggy and John Landwehr to get the most out of your Mac and Apple products.
