Stephen Farber presented Mac OS X
Apple engineers have been going from user group to user group presenting OS X. Instead we had Stephen Farber who was in may ways much better. After all, the Apple engineer's job is to show you how great OS X is, and how to install it. Stephen's job was to tell us how Mac OS X really is, and to give us some hints for installing it if we choose to do so. As you will see in our first article, Stephen did very well. He even brought gifts.
