7:30 PM to 9:30 PM

Steve Jobs, CEO and co-founder of Apple Computer, is our featured speaker, as we gather to view a videotape of highlights from his keynote address at Macworld Expo.

As the Macworld Expo web site explains, the keynote address is "the best place to learn first-hand about Apple's latest innovations and initiatives, this is Macworld's most exciting and most anticipated presentation."

During his 2003 Macworld San Francisco keynote Steve Jobs introduced a plethora of new and updated Apple products, including:

• Airport Extreme wireless networking, up to 5x faster than the original version of AirPort
• Final Cut Express, a professional video editing application for just 299.00
• The 12 inch PowerBook G4
• The 17 inch PowerBook G4
• The 1.0 release of Safari, Apple's own web browser
• The first release of Keynote, Apple's presentation application
• Updates to the entire iLife suite of applications, including iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie, and iDVD

The 2004 Macworld Expo Keynote address is sure to include plenty to learn about and discuss. We plan to have a live report via telephone from our own "CapMac correspondent" who will be attending the Expo in San Francisco. They will provide firsthand reports about the Expo, including the coolest new products, as well as answering questions from our audience in Austin.

Plus, we'll have an update on our Tutor A Teacher program which is preparing to get underway to provide one-on-one assistance to teachers to help them get the most from their Macintosh resources, and announce the winners of our CapMac Web Badge Contest - the deadline for entry is January 1!

Also, if you've made a resolution to set up your own web site and get a fresh start on a mail account that isn't overrun with spam, take advantage of your member benefits by applying for a CapMac server account! 15 MB of email space and 50 MB of personal server space gives you plenty of room to create your online holiday photo gallery, start your own weblog, or just backup those important documents into your private storage area. We'll have applications available at the meeting.
