We got thoroughly involved with the new Mac laptops last month because of the high level of audience interest. Web security was the planned topic but it didn’t even take a back seat. This month we’ll actually explore the topic. Despite the perception that there are no serious viruses or trojans for the Mac OS there are still plenty of opportunities for mischief to occur.

Also, we want to emphasize the availability of tutorials and educational podcasts through iTunes university and other sources. We’ll try to point out specific ones that have impressed us. You can help. Be prepared with path data so we can point out your favorite educational podcasts.

As always, the Macintosh Mystery Hour precedes the main meeting. Bring your questions. Bring your answers. Bring a friend!

Podcasting is one of the fastest growing forms of multimedia today. We’ll discuss the medium, the media and the tools of podcasting. We’ll show some examples and then we’ll assemble one from scratch at the meeting on Wednesday, May 16th. Along the way we’ll use GarageBand, iPhoto, iMovie, and anything else in the iLife and iWork suites that suits our fancy. Bring your questions. Bring your answers. Bring a friend!
