The Penang Mac User Group would like to thank Arden Khoo of  Epixels Digital Media Community Centre for hosting The Peachpit Experience Double Feature DVD screening that just ended a couple of hours ago.

I have known Arden for many years. He is a polished presenter. His knowledge of photography,video and digital media editing is one of the best I have seen. He is one of the few people who is comfortable in both Macs  and Windows and has been using dual platforms for many years in his training and workflow.

Technology is changing so rapidly and I am glad Apple switched to Intel. We now have the BEST of both platforms running right in our computer.A few years ago Discovery Channel highlighted a documentary on what was the most powerful invention by man. Johannes Gutenburg and his printing press came out tops.

Thank you Peachpit for sponsoring the event. Knowledge is power.

10GB free hard disk space

An Intel-based Mac

Adobe Golive 9

Although Adobe did not include Golive in CS3, it announced Golive 9. It’s Priced the same as Dreamweaver CS3 and there are many places including the FAQ that encourages you to switch to Dreamweaver. Good marketing strategy but time will tell if they will come out with Golive 10.
