From: Owen Hartnett To: owen@ids.net Subject: RIMac meeting November 22 Date: Friday, November 19, 1999 12:52 AM RIMac November 22 '99 November 22 - 7:00 PM - CIT Building, Brown University Macintosh Storage Options or A Couple of Slipped Disks Space getting a little tight on your Mac? Did you have to throw out your 1200 dpi scan of your dog Sparky wearing sunglasses so you could download some email? Did those Gigabytes suddenly vanish into thin air when you downloaded the latest Netscape? Does your desktop look like a shotgun full of icons was blasted into it? Fret not, fellow RiMac'er, as this month our own esteemed Gordon Lee will be exploring, with gun and camera, various storage options and things you can do to get some extra space so you can continue with your electronic packratting. In addition, no one but the estimable Gene Dwiggins will be talking about formal (black tie) backup options like Retrospect, and will show and demonstrate a magneto-optical drive and our club's CD-Rom Burner. ******** IMPORTANT NOTICE ************* Next month, December, will be our last meeting before the Y2K bug hits us all. As usual for a December meeting, it will be our in house catered banquet, free for paying members, but $5 for non-members. This meeting will be on December 13th. NOTE: It is vital that you RSVP to Bob Hazard rehazard@ici.net so we can know how many will be attending, so we'll have enough food for all. I'd recommend making sure your dues are paid up to date for this meeting, as there may be some surprises that take place then, that you would not want to miss. ************* END OF IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 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 the CIT building Monday night, and let there be dancing in the streets, drinking in the saloons and necking in the parlor.
