Hi Cara,
I do not recall the room location, but the time is 8 to 10 AM on the
Friday morning of CSUN. It is listed in the agenda.
What do you love about the Mac? Are there particular tasks you have
found easier or possible that were not so on Windows (or Linux)? These
are the kinds of things that provide ideas for a list of possible tasks.
An idea can be rough at first and then refined between now and the
event.
Cheers,
Jamal
