Just a reminder that the September meeting will **not* be at ACCC, instead we’ll be meeting at Carolyn’s house for our (Fall) Wi-Fi Picnic. Bring a covered dish or munchie and your Airport equipped laptop. Details are in this post:
For obvious privacy reasons I’m not posting directions to Carolyn’s home to the web site, if you need them send a request to webmaster@acamug.org and I’ll forward them directly.
Apple has updated the existing Intel based iMacs and added a new even larger (23″) model, all now feature the Intel Core 2 Duo™ processor.
They’ve also bumped up the speeds of the Mac minis and converted them all to Dual Core processors (the low end unit previously used a single core.)
The timing of this update is very interesting in that Apple has scheduled an event titled “Its Showtime!” for September 12th, presumably to announce new and/or updated products. That they saw fit to update the iMacs a week before and with minimal fanfare suggests we will see something even bigger next Tuesday. The rumor sites are pumping out all manor of possibilities from updated iPod nanos to the announcement of an official Apple iTunes Movie Store (and maybe even an Apple branded cell phone.) Tune in next week for the exciting conclusion!
Here are the standard specs for the new lineup:
