Despite fierce competition with the political debate on Tuesday the 7th of October, there was a full meeting room at the library for the Kachemacs guest event. Andrew Welch, president of Ambrosia Software came all the way from New York State to show and tell some of the products available from his company. It was such an opportunity to meet a Mac developer in person at one of our meetings way up here in Homer.

Andrew provided us with many copies of the demo DVD with all the company’s software on it to use for free for 30 days. I have plenty of extras if anyone missed out. When any of the Kachemacs choose to purchase Ambrosia Software products for the Mac from the website, use coupon code AKMUG20. The code will be valid for one month from our meeting date, or just long enough to get addicted to the demo software.

We also discussed the need for another drop-in session at the library. On Saturday, October 25, the library opens at 10AM. We will occupy one of the group study rooms along the perimeter of the main library. Anyone who drops in will be able to discuss Mac in a less formal setting than the Tuesday meetings. This is a perfect opportunity for Mac beginners to get some hands on help. I personally will be there until 3PM, but other members can stay until the library throws them out at 6PM.
