Hershey Apple Core » Meeting Notes

It is that time of year again. Soon we’ll all be buying our favorite Mac user (even if it that is us) a little something…or a big something…for the holidays. Join us at our November meeting as we look at this year’s products and decide on the best gift ideas. Whether you’re buying for a Mac, iPad, iPod, or iPhone user, we’ll help you sort out all the product news and name some of the best hardware, software and service apps. Have an idea of your own? Bring it along! With the huge number of choices out there, it is just possible that we missed yours.

We’ll also have our ever-popular question-and-answer session, and the Meeting-After-The-Meeting dinner at Fuddruckers.

Where else are you going to have that much fun on a Wednesday night? See you at HAC.
