2) iPhone unlocked with Ben Schmidt
3) Virtual tour of the London, U.K., AppleStore with Lawrence Head
4) Traveling with your Mac -- bring your tips for a roundtable
5) First impressions: iPod touch group discussion (if time allows)
n.b. Are you an iWork, Aperture, Garageband addict? Care to provide the club with a short presentation? Send me a note: meetings@mugoo.ca

Agenda vs what really happened:
You might think that after a few years, I'd be a better meeting planner. I should have known that iMovie needed at least an hour and that the iPhone overview would be so riveting with lots of twists and turns. Sorry for the disappointment for those that wanted to see the other items.
I will try to fit the missing events into future meetings. Keep your eyes open.
