This month it’s time for another MacCamp on Saturday, May 8th! This MacCamp will replace our regular evening meeting for this month. With summer just around the corner, we will be serving up a BBQ for lunch that day. We will be seeing brief presentations on both the iPad and Spotlight at the beginning of the day before splitting off into casual groups.

MacCamp will start at 10:00 am and continue until 4:00 pm. The location will be at the Wheeler Road Church of Christ in Midland.

MIAMUG Meeting, Sat. April 10, 2010 9:30 am to Noon

Wheeler Road Church of Christ

This month, we can look forward to Randy Walker presenting “Mandatory Mac Main- tenance,” with tips on easy maintenance tasks that will help keep your Mac in tip-top shape.

The next meeting of the iLife SIG will take place on Tuesday, April 6th at 7pm at the Wheeler Road Church of Christ. Please bring your computer with 3 or 4 video clips that require editing. If possible, please have them captured into your iMovie Library and a new project started. We will cover different methods of trimming clips so they “fit” into one project timeline.

We will also cover one or two SHORT “Improve Your Camera Techniques” at each meeting so that future video shot will be improved.
