CMoM members who purchased or just perused techie things at the Moscone Center
When:
Friday, February 12, 2010 at 6:30 p.m (or earlier for pizza!)
What:

CMoM has arranged a bus trip for members and friends to attend Macworld Expo at Moscone Center in San Francisco on February 12, 2010.  As this is a Friday, our usual CMoM general meeting will be held after we get back.  

Cost is $25 for members; $45 for nonmembers, for transportation only. Reduced cost admissions may be available online direct from Macworld. For reservations/info on bus trip, contact: CMoMAmb@mac.com ASAP.

For more general information, visit: http://www.macworldexpo.com

As of the date this is posted, there are seats available.

We need to have all the signups and money in hand ASAP.

Make your reservations for the 24-passenger bus by email to our MacWorld bus chairman, Jerry Gifford, CMoMAmb@mac.com (Please use "Macworld Bus" in the subject line.)

Send your check to Club Mac of Monterey at P.O. Box 2107, Monterey, CA 93942.

The take off and landing spot for the MacBus will be at the Ord Military Community (Old Fort Ord).

See details and map below!

The bus should arrive onsite by 7:45 AM.

We will leave at 8 AM sharp!!  The time of our arrival back in Marina is dependent on the effects of traffic on the way home from SF. We will leave San Francisco sometime between 2:45 and 3:00 PM.  We expect to arrive home  between 5:00--5:15 PM.

As this is a Friday, our usual CMoM general meeting will be held after we get back.   However, a "dinner meeting" will  begin earlier than usual, between 5:45--6:00 PM with hot pizza and cold beverages for all members, especially the travelers on the bus. Our regular CMoM general meeting will begin early at 6:30 PM with Q&A and sharing what we saw and learned in San Francisco. 

Other trip details and advice for the day will be emailed to all who purchase a seat on the bus.

Given the cost of gas and parking in SF, the price of $25 for club members and $45 for guests is quite reasonable. If you are not currently a member and would like to participate this would be a good time to join (membership is only $20 for the year).

You should get a free FREE Expo ticket as soon as possible.  We do not know how long such offers will stand. Please let us know if you find another source.  https://register.rcsreg.com/regos-1.0/macsf2010/ga/index4.html?fvhf_email_blast=T&pri=Poll

Macworld 2010 - Info and Registration

One nice change for 2010 is that no special codes or invites are now needed to get free entry to the exhibits. Click here to register online now to reserve your pass for the 2010 show.

The Mac universe is filled with lots of great free and low-cost software, in other words, Mac Gems. In fact, we uncover many more titles in our day-to-day software mining than we're able to cover in our usual twice-a-week Mac Gems articles. So the Macworld staff is using the Mac Gems blog to briefly cover a new Mac Gem each day. Some products will be simple items that may not warrant a full-length review, some will be niche products, and some will just be things that have been waiting too long for coverage. The one thing they have in common is that all are Mac Gems.

Every day the Macworld staff will use the Mac Gems blog to briefly cover a favorite free or low-cost program and see more pages with past Mac Gems.
