DACS monthly meetings do not often have Apple computers as a topic.  On Tuesday evening, September 7, that will all change.  Dave Marra, from Apple, Inc., will be our guest presenter for that evening. 

Dave is a Senior Systems Engineer for Apple, and he has conducted thousands of technology presentations, keynote addresses and workshops for schools, Mac and PC user groups, businesses and other professional organizations.  Both an Apple Certified Technical Coordinator and Apple Certified Systems Administrator, his specialty areas include digital multimedia, Internet technologies, accessibility and Mac/PC integration.  He has a web site at www.marrathon.com.

Dave will take us through Snow Leopard which he describes as building upon a decade of Mac OS X innovation with hundreds of refinements, new core technologies and out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange, all engineered upon a rock-solid, 64-bit UNIX foundation.

The last time Dave made a presentation to DACS, I didn’t attend because I didn’t think I cared about what Apple was doing.  That all changed with the iPhone.  Once I learned what the iPhone was all about, learning about the Apple Mac became a necessity.  I converted my computing from a Windows environment to Snow Leopard in February.  It used to be that I would turn my computer on, go down to Starbucks for a cup of coffee, return home and my computer might be ready to perform.  Not any more.  Now, when I turn on my computer, Snow Leopard is there! 

There are many other features that Dave will cover including a more responsive Finder (in Windows, that’s the Explorer), faster built-in applications, a Dock with Exposé integration, Safari 5, QuickTime, and many more features.  Don’t pass up this opportunity to learn about a leading operating system.  I’ll be there and you should too.  Come to the meeting on September 7th and discover more about this advanced operating system.
