Salisbury — Jul 27th 2011
As far as content goes, it was one of our busiest meetings so far - the discussions were still in full swing when I had to call time. Doug and Luke had already downloaded and been using Lion so between them gave the rest of us a taste of what it's all about. Doug showed us some of the new features of Safari, Address Book and iCal and Luke showed us Launch Pad and Mission Control. The questions were many and varied but an awful lot were along the lines of "how do I make it do what I can now do in Snow Leopard". Luddites! I didn't help by admitting that I hate track pads and even the Magic Mouse and don't want to go over to this new fangled way of controlling my Mac - but it seems I won't have to just yet.
The discussion moved on to Smart Groups in Address Book and of course Smart everything in other applications and a debate ensued on the various merits of POP or IMAP mail. However, we cut these short to hold them over for a fuller discussion at the August meeting.
