"Dr. Mac" Bob LeVitus presents his annual "State of the Mac" Address December 14, 7:00 PM


Thursday, December 14, 2006
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus joins Capitol Macintosh December 14 for his always exciting, entertaining, and enlightening annual "State of the Macintosh" address.

Often referred to as "Dr. Mac," Bob is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on the Macintosh and Mac OS X and has been one of the Mac community’s most trusted gurus for almost twenty years.

For the fifth year in a row Bob will present his favorite applications, games, and utilities for the Mac at our December general meeting, as well as providing his unique insight into the future of the Macintosh platform.

Remember that December meeting attendees take home a free copy of our annual CapMac Holiday CD that includes demo versions of Bob's favorite applications and utilities, plus we'll have over $1,000.00 worth of donated software licenses as raffle prizes!

Bob is the author or co-author of almost 50 best-selling computer books including his newest titles, "Mac OS X For Dummies, Tiger Edition," "Garage Band for Dummies," and the upcoming "Mac OS X Leopard for Dummies." His books have sold more than two million copies worldwide, and have been translated into more than a dozen languages.

Bob has written columns, reviews, and feature articles for almost every magazine with the word "Mac" in its title and currently writes the "Dr. Mac" column for the Houston Chronicle technology page each Friday, and "Dr. Mac's Rants & Raves" column for The Mac Observer. His hobbies include playing guitar, engineering his own audio recordings, and filmmaking.

While proud to be known for his keen knowledge of the Mac and its history, Bob likes to be known for his humorous relaxed writing style and ability to translate "techie" jargon into usable and fun advice for normal folks.

Bob is a great supporter of Mac user groups, making hundreds of appearances and presentations over the years. We are thrilled to welcome Bob back once again, and know you'll enjoy his keen insight and candid remarks about "The State of the Mac" as we prepare to begin 2007.
