From the O’Reilly Publishing Group’s series of “The Missing Manual” we have received 4 fantastic titles:

• Mac OS X SnowLeopard
• iMovie and iDVD ‘09
• iPhoto ‘09
• Photoshop Elements 8

John Feltham is taking care of iPhoto and Photoshop Elements, while I get into the Snow Leopard and iMovie / iDVD books.
With these references now available we should be able to answer most questions. (I hope). Any queries please send along via the email list or come along to the meetings and workshops.

Workshops are also held on Tuesday evenings (week following the General Meeting). Workshops commence at 6:00 p.m. and generally conclude at about 9:00 p.m.

Workshops are essentially long question-and-answer sessions covering topics and solving problems that are too extensive to cover at a meeting. Members should bring their Macs as this ensures that you can save files generated during the workshop on your own machine.
