From: John C Shockey Subject: *CAL* MacTechGrp Meeting - October 4, 2000 Date: Monday, October 02, 2000 6:11 PM Straight from the keyboard of our fearless leader, Owen: MacTechGrp Meeting October 4, 2000 7-9PM Room 395 Bldg E51 MIT Sloan School Mac OS X Beta We've all been on an extended binge here at the MacTechGrp, just drunk with coding. This month we'll talk about your experiences with the Mac OS X beta, what it's missing, what's surprisingly already there, what kind of wine goes best with it, and whether chewing gum really does lose its flavor on the G4 Cube overnight. We'll cover the Tuesday night Presidential debate, and determine which candidate would be best for the future of Macintosh, and make other world shattering determinations. 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=bldg_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 You can get more information on the MacTechGrp (and undoubtedly out of date meeting information) at http://www.codewell.com/mactechgrp To contact the unindicted co-conspirators irresponsible for this group, email owen@ids.net or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. Set your subject line to "Make Money Fast!!!!!!" so we'll know it's you. *** Do you aspire to someday speak before the august MacTechGrp? Whether you're a new programmer or an old pro, you probably have something interesting you could tell the rest of the group. Fear not, your lucky day could be at hand. Send an email to eric@slosser.net with your proposed topic.***
