Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2000 06:59:54 -0500 (EST) From: John C Shockey Subject: MacTechGrp Meeting - February 2, 2000 MacTechGrp Meeting February 2, 2000 Where's Shorty? or The Old Squeeze Play Given we can make bail, Wednesday night's debacle will be about image compression, specifically how you can can: 1) Use just a few lines of code to display in your programs almost any format of image. 2) Use QuickTime to compress images in a variety of formats. Now it can be practical for your application to support almost any type of display image. 3) Other sundry delights. We'll also discuss the current state of Apple, Apple stock, the weather, and whether Steve Jobs could beat Bill Gates in a iron cage wrestling match. The usual suspects will be rounded up for exciting Macintosh jabbering, of the sort you love, and we hope you'll participate. Please bring your whole mind, a quart of jabber, and any Macintosh news, questions, or rumors to MIT building E51 Wednesday night, and let there be dancing in the streets, drinking in the saloons and necking in the parlor. Note: The room number is 395, but we often move to a room with a better projector, so 395 is often just a pointer to our real address. I always write the real room number on the blackboard in 395, so just dereference that. You can get a map showing building E51 at http://whereis.mit.edu/bin/map?oldstate=2&off.x=4620&off.y=1640&hi=bld g_e51&zoom.x=89&zoom.y=38 You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant (excepting Alice). The Mactechgrp always meets the first Wednesday of the month. Post no bills. You can get more information on the Mactechgrp (and undoubtedly out of date meeting information) at http://www.codewell.com/mactechgrp To contact the unindicted co-conspirators irresponsible for this group, email owen@ids.net or sgs@codewell.com.
