Next Meeting: Tuesday, July 14, 2008 6:00 PM Ashland Community Hospital
Our June meeting featured our own Matt Beers on "Performance and your Mac." If you missed it, you can watch his entire presentation right here! Enjoy...
Matt explained the behind-the-scenes ways in which you can monitor your Macs performance, and diagnose performance issues. Plus, maintain your Mac using OnyX, a free utility that runs a variety of tasks, configures applications and cleans up data helping to streamline your Mac.
