Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 18:21:43 -0400 From: Owen Hartnett Subject: MacTechGrp Meeting - Sept 5, 2001 MacTechGrp Meeting Sept 5, 2001 7-9PM Room 395 Bldg E51 MIT Sloan School DVD - How does it fit in your future? Exploring New Media technology from a developer perspective. Brian DeLacey will talk about these new disks that are pushing VHS off your Blockbuster's shelf, and what opportunities that could mean for you. Products from PowerFile and LaCie will be showcased along with a demonstration process of creating a DVD from "scratch". Come learn how DVD and associated formats work and how you can use them in your applications. Brian DeLacey is a former head of the BCS Mac group and Director of Product Line Development at Lotus Development. He is now working on research related to technology and learning at Harvard Business School. The usual suspects will be rounded up for exciting Macintosh jabbering, and we hope you'll participate. Your presence is requested ("We couldn't get any presents, the stores were all closed." -Shemp) along with any Macintosh news, questions, or rumors, at MIT building E51 Wednesday night. 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 a phonograph record of Minnie the Moocher for seventy five cents. And for a buck and a quarter, you can get Minnie. The MacTechGrp always meets the first Wednesday of the month. You can get more information on the MacTechGrp (and sometimes out of date meeting information) at http://www.codewell.com/mactechgrp To contact the unindicted co-conspirators irresponsible for this group, email owen@ids.net or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. *** 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, but slots are filling fast. Send an email to eric@slosser.net with your proposed topic.*** ********** MACTECHGRP MILK CARTON ************* We're looking for people who can speak about: Mac OS X Programming Working with Cocoa Networking differences in OS X Performance tricks for OS X Have you seen this person?
