“Holiday Show & Tell:
The Double Click Gifting Guide”
Hosted by Jim Macak,
Double Click President
The year is nearly at its end and the holiday gift season is once again upon us. Following our long-standing Double Click tradition, we invite Double Click members to participate in this “Show & Tell” meeting.
Also, as an added bonus, Bob Wood, former Double Click member and officer (and current president of the Tucson Macintosh Users group), will present the current compilation of his annual “Geek Gift Guide.”
Do you have a favorite Mac/iPhone/iPod item that you find especially useful/fun/handy that you consider a “must-have?” If you think your fellow members might be interested in it too (as a gift or for themselves), how about presenting it at this meeting?
Your demo might be a game, utility or productivity enhancement software or a useful hardware add-on. Or perhaps your favorite mobile device app? Everyone has something like this… why not share it?
Give the rest of us a gift hint by showing your software or hardware favorite at this meeting. A quick 5-10 minute demo is all that we ask… contact Jim Macak to be added to the agenda!
Beginning with the onset of the health threat of the coronavirus pandemic, “in-person” Double Click meetings have been replaced by “virtual” on-line meetings. We have chosen to use the Webex meeting software from Cisco as our on-line meeting platform.
In order to “attend” the virtual meeting, members will need to download and install the free Cisco Webex Meetings software app on their computer, iPhone or iPad.
• The direct download link for the Webex application for Macintosh computers with the new Apple Silicon M-series chips is Webex app for Apple Silicon Macs.
• The direct download link for the Webex application for Macintosh computers with Intel CPU chips is Webex app for Apple Intel Macs.
• For your iPhone or iPad, search the App Store for “Webex” and download the free mobile app.
A .pdf document of instructions for installing and using the Cisco Webex Meetings software is available here: Double Click Virtual Meeting - Software Instructions.
Most Double Click monthly main meetings start with a presentation tailored especially for “beginners” that also serves as a review for more experienced users. The session host is Steve Parker. Steve, the long-standing Beginner’s Group Coordinator and current Double Click Vice President, demonstrates macOS X tips and basic techniques.
Steve’s presentations are a popular feature of the first part of Double Click meetings. New (and even experienced) users are always sure to learn a tip or three from Steve. (If you have a tip, bring yours along to share!)
Note: On-line meetings are currently replacing physical meetings!
Regular Main Meetings of Double Click, Inc., the macOS User Group of Milwaukee, are held once a month on a Sunday afternoon beginning at 1:00 p.m.
All regular meetings are free and open to the public.
