Hi Doan,
I just read your excellent summary on printers. Very nicely done. One
small quibble about laser printers. The ink/toner transfer is not
magnetic but electrostatic attraction. It is somewhat analogous to
magnet action which is okay for visualization purposes but not
technically correct.
I hope this is useful.

Hey Matt,
Thanks for posting that link... I didn't attend that in person, so
I, too, was interested in seeing it before our group's Jan mtng...
For some reason, neither Steve Jobs' Keynote nor this presentation's
[Watch Now] buttons worked for me, either in Explorer or Safari...
Other QuickTime streams do though...
However, looking at the page's source, I found the following URL
which *did* work for me...
<http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/osx_keynote/powerofx_ref.mov>
After seeing it, I have to say I much more enjoyed Phil's "Seybold
2002 Keynote," which was on the Apple Sales Resources Oct 2002
DVD... I looked for it online, but couldn't find it anywhere, so
hopefully those interested can get access to the DVD...
In particular, I thought it funny/humorous how he began by saying
he wasn't going to talk about Mail, iChat, Address Book, Sherlock 3,
iCal, Universal Access, Jaguar Finder, UNIX, or PC Compatibility, but
in mentioning each he was able to say a bit about them... <hehehe>
He then went on to make excellent mini-presentations on Quartz
Extreme, QuickTime 6, Inkwell, Image Capture, ColorSync, AppleScript,
Fonts, Rendezvous, and Printing w/ the help of Chris Borden (sp?),
Product Mktg Mgr for Mac OS X, and John Zimmerer (sp?), Color Imaging
Product Mktg Mgr...
The last mini-presentation, Printing, is our group's Mar topic, so
I'll be updating our handout from 2001 (for OS 9), adding some cool
Printers matrices, and then ending by showing Phil's
mini-presentation on Printing (for OS X)... You can see the first
two here:

<http://qmug.org/LA/Desktop_Folder/Documents/Printers_2003.htm>
FWIW, I thought the recent discussions here were excellent... As
for the Apple Mailbox, I did go ahead and order it for our group,
more a supportive/symbolic gesture than out of need, as I do
appreciate what Apple has done for MUGs in general and for QMUG/LA in
particular...
As for computers at meetings, I wouldn't say they were a problem
for us, and in fact for our Dec Jaguar presentation, I enlisted an
audience member w/ Airport to join me in iChat, which was viewable
via our meeting room's projector... Very cool...
As for overhead projectors, I totally agree w/ Randy Marshall about
their benefit... Our group happens to meet at a business that has
two meeting rooms, each w/ their own projectors... However our group
has also rented them, ~$10/hr, which may be an option for groups not
able to buy their own...
Lastly, as for special user group discounts, kudos to Lorene for
all her hard work in securing them... Our group lists a select few
on our website's main page, then directs our members to Chuck's
mugcenter.com page for the complete list, and to then e-mail us for
specific codes...
Hope you all are having a great start to the year...
Sincerely,
