1 - The MUG Event Calendar for January 14: Macworld Expo (What Else?),
James Lee of Tropical Software and Lots of Leopard
<http://www.mugcenter.com/the-mug-event-calendar-for-january-14-macworld-
expo-what-else-james-lee-of-tropical-software-and-lots-of-leopard/>
The focus this week is, obviously, on Macworld Conference & Expo, and
all the new Apple goodies that are so highly anticipated. For the MUG
members who aren$)A!/t making the trek to San Francisco, the week is filled
with Leopard demos of all flavors.
To see all that$)A!/s going on at Macworld Expo for Mac User Group members,
visit our dedicated MUG Event Calendar; there$)A!/s just no way to put it
all together here. Suffice it to say that a whole host of Mac luminaries
will be appearing in the User Group Lounge, and MUG Center editor Chuck
Joiner is doing a $)A!0User Groups 2.0$)A!e presentation there on Wednesday.
That same night, video enthusiasts and professionals can attend the
Final Cut Pro User Group SuperMeet. Mac User Groups are once again
represented on the show floor by a rotating slate of exhibiting MUGs,
and all MUG members and leaders attending the show are invited to the
MacLevelTen meet-up on Tuesday evening. Watch the front page of The MUG
Center each day for a summary of the MUG events (and more) at Expo.
James Lee of Tropical Software is coming to the show, but he isn$)A!/t
content just with parties in the after-hours. Jim will be at the Tri-
Valley Macintosh Users Group on Wednesday to show off TopXNotes and
provide his insights on the keynote announcements. (more)

If you get up early enough to get in to Steve Job$)A!/s Macworld Expo
keynote on Tuesday, you$)A!/re going to be ready for a little downtime
before hitting the party circuit$)A!-or the sack.
Starting at 5:30 PM, join the member producers of MacLevelTen, Pat
Fauquet, MUG Center editor Chuck Joiner, Don McAllister, Jay Nelson, Dan
Pourhadi and Steve Sande at Chevy$)A!/s (next to Moscone, so the walk is

Meet-Up. (more)'''
