[MacTUG] Meeting Tuesday Nov 29.

[Richard Crispin]

Good Morning All
The first great snow fall of the year. It sure looks clean out there.

Our regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday Nov 29 at 9:15 am in the library.

I would like to discuss things we need to talk to Apple about. I met 
with Randy Milthorpe and he is willing to meet with us in the new 
year. In preparation for that meeting I would like us to discuss 
issues, problems, questions that we might want to discuss with Apple.

 From my point of view it would be nice if we could get a deal on 
support. I know this has been discussed before but maybe if we bring 
it up enough times, Apple will change their mind.

The other thing I would like to talk about is site licensing. This is 
more a UW issue than anything else. I asked the computer store about 
site licensing iWork since we have had a number of people wanting to 
us Pages. There response is below. I wondered if there is a need for 
this and should we be asking Sandy about it.

his sleep...      ... not screaming and shouting, like his passengers.
