The next meeting of the Hershey Apple Core will be on January 12 starting at 6:30 PM at the Hershey Public Library, Hershey PA.

HAC is back from the holidays and we’re all about apps. We’ll have a look at the new Mac App Store, what it brings to the table for all Mac users, and what the implications are for the future of app development and distribution.

All these easily-accessible apps mean that you will want to pay extra attention to your Mac app management. We’ll show you how to properly and completely uninstall apps both automatically and manually to make sure your Mac stays lean and mean.

We’ll also have a look at some of our favorite new apps for our iDevices – the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, and invite you to bring along yours as well.

This meeting will also mark our first President’s Sale. No, we’re not selling Chuck (who would pay?). Bring any tech that you don’t need any longer (or that you got for Christmas and want to be relieved of) and put a “President Price” on it: $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100. Our usual caveats apply: please accurately represent the condition and functionality of what you bring, and all sales are between buyer and seller. HAC will just be there lurking in the background. Watching.

What would a HAC meeting be without our always-informative Question and Answer Session, and Meeting-After-The-Meeting Dinner? Nothing, so you can expect those too.

PLEASE NOTE: At this time of year we need to remind you that, in the event of challenging weather, we’ll make any call to cancel the meeting no later than 5 PM, or earlier if the Hershey Library opts to close. Check the web site or be sure you’re on our email list to get the notification directly.
