From: John C Shockey Subject: MacTechGrp Meeting - November 3, 1999 Date: Saturday, October 30, 1999 3:08 PM Owen wanted to write the meeting announcement this month and we've decided to humor him. MacTechGrp Meeting November 3, 1999 7:00 PM MIT Building E51-395 iThink, iMac, iBook also The Nine Lives of Mac OS 9 Our monthly debacle will feature a real honest to goodness iBook for our esteemed membership to drool over (please don't get drool on the iBook). We'll do the usual hemming and hawing over the technical details of this new hardware (which I haven't seen yet, have you?) and then we'll ponder over the technical details of Mac OS 9 (which I have seen) and reveal the secret dark inner lurkings. Last month, we went through an Apple-made demo of Altivec, and thanks to the gang in the peanut gallery, I was able to figure out what each slide meant and understand the whole thing, and I bet you did too! We'll be doing some other Apple demos in the month to come. The usual suspects will be rounded up for exciting Macintosh jabbering, of the sort you know 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 The MacTechGrp always meets the first Wednesday of the month.
