Hi everyone,

The Chicago Apple User Group is very proud to have Bill Geraci showing us Mac Utility Basics for our January, 2017 meeting! Here is Bill's description:

What is a Utility, exactly? Why should you care? They can tell you a bit about what’s going on whether (some things) are healthy. We’ll look at
Apple’s Disk Utility and Activity Monitor and how a computer guy uses them.

Here is Bill's bio:
Born and raised in Northern California, Bill Geraci moved to Chicago in 1983 where he's been recovering from that event ever since. Within a few years he had dropped out of the University of Chicago as a graduate student, met and married his wife, gone from being a restaurant cook to library supervisor to Computer Guy, tried to help raise three children and become staff at the University of Chicago. In trying to recover from those earlier years, he's gone through being a full-time almost-solely Macintosh consultant to, again, being a staff guy at the University of Chicago. Having given up earlier tries at Classical Greek, Sanskrit, Philosophy and pipe organ performance and maintenance, he's now considered expert presenter on Mac systems, hardware and software (as well as some other stuff). In spite of these mishaps, misdirections and boons, he continues his recoveries and remains hopeful.

This is the only book Adobe endorses to help people learn Photoshop Elements 13 and we are very fortunate to have Jeff as our guest for our March, 2015 meeting.

About Photoshop Elements 13 - the #1 photography software title on Amazon, for $59.99
Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 is the full featured consumer version of Photoshop. Imagine having nearly everything in the full version of Photoshop, but for less than $100.00. Elements is the #1 photography software on Amazon.com, and the price on amazon.com is $59.99. You’ll be able to adjust color, add layers, crop, rotate images, share with friends, make photo books, and now sync your photos with mobile devices, and much, much more. But what’s the best way to learn to use Photoshop Elements?

The official book from Adobe is the Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Classroom in a Book. The author of the book is Jeff Carlson, and he is our special guest on Wednesday, March 4, 2015. He will be with us via live video.
