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>.

Conversion Tools to save online videos.

Zamzar http://www.zamzar.com/ is one of my favorites. A great converter, it is fast, free, educationally friendly. It converts almost anything to anything else you want it to be. The list is endless, so for one stop conversions, this is my pick. The other item, like Zamzar, is a converter. ConvertTube will allow you to convert online video like YouTube to more popular formats like wmv, mov, mp4,mp3, 3gp. http://converttube.com/
