02 Fred has a music party
When I saw this, I was shocked. In fact, I was actually
in the process of inviting people to a party, with music,
etc., so was surprised that this title shows
up in the App currents.

03 Protecting yourself from Financial Scams
The cybercrime industry is taking a particular liking to financial
scams as we approach the holiday season in a down-turn economy.
They automatically assume that a percentage of their victims
are looking for a job, transferring money, or trying to
streamline their financial lives. JUST DON'T CLICK

FileMaker database systems, lets developers use interactive
data visualization to gain insight into their FileMaker

You've heard of QuickerTek before. Now they've introduced
Q4, the fourth generation Quicky which is an improvement
over the previous Quicky models. The Q4 works in both
2.4GHz and 5.8GHz wireless modes with transfer rates
from 300 mbps running in either 2.4 or 5.8GHz.

07 Stylish iPhone furniture
Smartphone Coasters have quickly become the accessory of
choice for Smartphone owners everywhere. Smartphone Coasters
are sleek and attractive stainless steel stands that

08 VRC - Dejal Systems
From Dejal Systems" history page: "Dejal has provided many
quality and flexible utilities to the Macintosh world over
the years, starting back in 1991 with the pre-Mac OS X gems
QuickEncrypt and SndConverter Pro. Nowadays, pretty much
everything is developed in native Cocoa for Mac OS X

-------------------------------------------------------------------
09 VRC - Binary Formations
This is one of the newer vendors in the Macintosh
community, since it was established in 2005. Its products
are aimed at the consumer, not businesses, so I think that
many MUG members would be interested in the Home Inventory
and the one for those wanting to quit smoking. Check out the
listing below, try them out and hopefully you will recommend
them to your membership.

12 Quotes: Dalai Lama
"Education is much more than a matter of
imparting the knowledge and skills by which
narrow goals are achieved.
It is also about opening the child's eyes to the
needs and rights of others."
