Here’s Adam’s program description:

“Mac OS X 10.7 Lion has been out for a few months now, and with September’s flood cancellation, we haven’t yet had a meeting delving into its details. That will be resolved in November when special guest Adam Engst, publisher of TidBITS and Take Control, makes his annual visit to Oneonta. Adam will be showing the major new features in Lion, talking about who they’re aimed at, how well they work for different kinds of Mac users, and – for those still using Snow Leopard – whether they’re sufficiently compelling to encourage you to upgrade sooner rather than later.”

As always, Adam will be ready to field questions and bring us up to date on the latest from Apple.

The meeting will begin with a question and answer session and end with a door prize drawing for current members and refreshments for all. The MUG ONE lending library will be available for members.

All MUG ONE meetings are free of charge and everyone is welcome. For more information, email us at info@mugone.com

Don’t miss this special presentation!

We learned of Steve Jobs’ death just as we were beginning our October 5th MUG ONE meeting.

Steve changed all of our lives. Without him, there would be no MUG ONE.

We mourn his passing and celebrate his achievements.

Thanks for everything, Steve. We’ll miss you.
