]]>The next issue was to find new ways to promote the group. I believe I have found a way to get our name into the local newspaper on a monthly basis in their calendar.
The next issue is a recurrent one. What do we have for meeting topics. One of our club founders was an Apple Genius for several months. He currently is doing a series on trouble shooting Leopard.
We have been asked to do meetings on iPhoto, Safari vs Firefox and others that members can present. I am wondering what you are doing for your meetings. I don't think we can provide a large enough audience for vendors since we rarely have more than 20 in attendance.
Again, please let me now what you are doing.
Thanks
Lynn
This really adds some interesting topics. Wish I had time to explore them all on a regular basis.
See it all here.

]]>Xslimmer will delete unneeded code as one way to get back space on your hard drive.
Some users have reported applications loading in almost half the time.
Some examples of space savings are:
* BBEdit 8.5, from 33.6Mb to 23.5Mb (30%)
* GarageBand 3.0.4, from 103Mb to 30.4Mb (70%)
* Grapher 2.0, from 68.2Mb to 18.6Mb (72%)
* Google Earth 4, from 101Mb to 52.8Mb (47%)
Xslimmer is compatible all the way from Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) through 10.5.x (Leopard).
You can use the demo for free to save up to 50 Mb of space. After that it is only $12.99. Of course, there are free apps that will do some slimming features, but this is the first one I have seen that removes languages from applications.
See it here.

1. Apple Boot Camp
2. AppleJack - AppleJack is a user friendly troubleshooting assistant for Mac OS X.
With AppleJack you can troubleshoot a computer even if you can’t load the GUI,
or don’t have a startup CD handy. AppleJack runs in Single User Mode and is
menu-based for ease of use.
3. Burn
4. Butler
5. Chicken of the VNC
6. Carbon Copy Cloner ...
11. iGetter
12. ImageWell (no longer free after 7 days.)
13. iWebMore - This lets you easily and quickly add features to sites created in iWeb
that would be difficult to add without this utility. This is the dig for the iWeb
developer. Embed HTML in your iWeb pages and finally have those flash
animations, applets and google ads on the website.
16. MainMenu
18. MenuMeters
21. Perian - With Perian, the Swiss Army Knife for QuickTime, any OS X application
that uses QuickTime can now use all the other common media types like DivX,
XviD, mpeg4, AC3 audio, etc.
23. Service Scrubber
25. Sizzling Keys - Sizzling keys allows you to control iTunes with keyboard shortcuts from any application. Pause, adjust the volume or skip a track without leaving the current application. Far more efficient than using iTunes itself. As well, one is generally using a lot more keyboard shortcuts when on the go anyhow.
28. SMARTReporter - SMARTReporter is an application that can warn you of some ATA
hard disk failures before they actually happen! It does so by periodically polling
the S.M.A.R.T.-status of your hard disk. S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and
Reporting Technology) is a technology built into most modern hard disks that
acts as an “early warning system” for pending drive problems.
30. Springy (StuffIt replacement) ...
There is more of course, plus some descriptors. As I mentioned above not all of the programs are freeware.
