Come see iLife'08 presented

Come and see Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus put together a project using iLife '08 from beginning to end. He will use all the applications from that suite: iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, GarageBand, and iDVD. You will learn the many ways to share your masterpiece with friends and family. iLife '08 is free with every new Macintosh. Maybe it's time to see what is new in iLife '08 ($79) in case you still have an older version.

This event is free thanks to Jim and Judy Habel, Apple Specialists and owners of MacOutfitters in Doylestown, Pa. They are located at 739 N. Easton Rd., in Doylestown, PA <www.macoutfitters.com>.

Mark the date on your calendar: Saturday, May 10, 2008. The event begins at 2:00 p.m. You do not need to make a reservation. Just come!

Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus is a computer columnist for the Houston Chronicle, a complete and total Mac geek, and the author of 50+ books including Mac OS X Leopard for Dummies, iPhone for Dummies, and dozens more.
