A month of learning… This has been a brain stretching month. All busy months include a lot of learning. Separating the wheat from the chaff is the issue.

Hurrah, we're back on schedule It has been a rather hectic couple of months but I think we should be back on our normal schedule of meetings. Let's be optimistic. Macworld has come and gone.
