???? Book Club ?????

Howdy,

I would like to suggest that we start an Apple Book Club of sorts.....

What I am suggesting is that as we outgrow our Mac Computer books we bring them in to our meeting so that others may enjoy...

There are many reasons that some people are not able to update software, computers, phones etc. and they could really enjoy a book that we no longer have a use for.......

Thank you,
Roy Frost

iTunes

ALERT: iTunes 10.5.2 UPDATER (on both Mac and Windows).
Don't update to 10.5.2 yet. I just received an automatic notice that v10.5.2 is available for download; and did I want to download and install it? I got an inner nudge to Google "iTunes 10.5.2 review" and . . . whoa, many people are having lamentable issues with it -- installation stalls after about 70% completion, causing loss of their playlists, etc. - David
