Salvation!! Even though I’m using iCal under Leopard, and even though I wasn’t having this problem (iCal wasn’t backing up properly), Dr Breen’s suggestion in Cure for a corrupt Calendar application has things back in order. Whew!
Next, we have an addendum to Monday’s meeting. Organizing and creating iPhoto projects gets into albums (smart and standard), books, cards, and calendars. It’s a three-page piece; you’ve been warned.
Is AppleCare worth it? Depends who you talk to. IMNSHO, don’t leave the store/Apple Web site without it; ever. According to some commenters, hell no! Jonathan Seff says yes, no, and maybe.

Cool Gmail Tips
From a MakeUseOf e-mail this morning:
Tip of the Day: Want to find large e-mails in Gmail that you can easily delete to free up space? Search for size:5m in Gmail – you’ll see all threads that take 5 MB or more of space. You could also search for has:attachment to find all e-mails with attachments, which often take up more space.
Pretty nifty!
Were You at the Meeting Last Night?
If not, you missed a lot of hints and tips (and questions)!
All of our presenters had great, interesting tidbits to share about iPhoto; it’s a pretty amazing package.
At Coco’s, Jordi’s back! And we still don’t know what the heck Apple will be presenting today.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!
