Approximately 30 people attended the meeting at the Downer's Grove Library. We had several new people, including spouses and friends of members. We had members who work on Monday and can't attend.

Ed Danley gave an excellent presentation on iPhoto. The response has been good. You can download his notes from Google Groups
We had a good give and take. We briefly saw Jim Rietz from Florida on iChat. Connection problems limited our conversation with him.

As issue was brought up with Adobe CS 3 getting an error message about a TWAIN conflict. It was suggested to shut down the scanner/scanner software prior to installing CS 3.

The prior networking issue with OS 9 and OS X 10.4.4 was brought up again. It was mentioned that this was addressed in an email right after the last meeting. Member was going to go back and find the email. The email had suggested that to upgrade OS 9 to 9.2.2 per the Apple Geniuses at the Oakbrook store.

Ed briefly demo'd the new Airport Base Station and talked about 802.11n.

Ed briefly displayed Parallels Desktop with Windows XP running on a
MacBook Pro. Coherence mode allows Windows apps to run along side Mac apps without even dealing with the Windows desktop.

A member was having a problem with MacJanitor. Appears to be 10.3 specific as other members were able to use the software with 10.4 Was not able to resolve that problem, suggested that they try OnyX.

A member was asking if anybody had an old plain-talk microphone that they would like to part with at a reasonable price.

A question came up on how to join the DAUG Google Groups email list.

Ed did the regular meeting presentation talking about OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Nothing new yet from Apple including any possible release date, cost or system requirements.
