You’re gonna have to try REALLY hard to get as organized as we are, if you weren’t.
The Meeting after the Meeting didn’t quite convene; next month!
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

We’ll get a lot farther in our next upgrade!

April 17th General Meeting
Migration Techniques: Problems and Solutions
Upgrading your Mac or iDevice? We’ll have what you need know!
Among other things, the following will be touched on:
Old software that needed to be upgraded
– finding the installers for some of the applications that had been retained on my M1-MacBook Pro and importing these to the MacStudio (the biggest one of these was MS Office)
– initial inability to do a direct transfer from one computer to another (Command-K) and having to resort to “sneaker-net” transfers via SD cards
– finding and resolving aliases that no longer were linked to their original files
– finding and resolving duplicate applications, folders, and files when the transfers were made from the Time Machine backup drive
– learning where all the “hidden menu items” were in the new OS
– etc. etc. etc.

If not, you missed another interesting discussion!
The Meeting after the Meeting dealt with Mail app confusion between Mac and iDevices, AppleTV and sound and speakers, tiny homes, iPhone run over by a car, watch faces for watch bands in recent drawings, big monitor that aren’t wide screen, and multi-camera systems.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

December 19th General Meeting
We are NOT meeting this month
We were hoping, again, to have our holiday party this time around, but couldn’t quite figure out how to make the yummy treats and drinks available over Zoom…
We are, of course, hoping to see y’all at the January 2023 meeting, same Bat time, same Bat channel.
So have a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Joyous Kwanzaa, and a celebratory Solstice, and we’ll see you then!
