6] - Saturday dBug Cafe: A Seattle Tradition for dBug's Resource Center
.......................
What's happening on Saturdays down at the dBug Cafe sponsored by the
Seattle Mac User Group? According to the dBug website, a better
question might be, "What isn't?" People bring in their Macs to get fixed
up or souped up. The iPhone has made a fair number of visits and digital
photography buffs have been showing off some cool tricks in iPhoto and
Photoshop. iPods are all over the place and the questions & answers flow
more freely than the hot coffee!
Have coffee with the experts.
