While just *days* before our July mtng, Apple ousted CEO Gil Amelio... And then just *days* before our Aug. mtng, Steve Jobs announced his deal w/ Bill Gates... And now, just *days* before our Sept. mtng, Apple has bought out Power Computing! QMUG/LA has been hosting some pretty cool mtngs...

Needing to make heads or tails of all this and what it means to you? Then drop by your monthly QMUG/LA mtng!

QMUG/LA is proud and excited to continue its long history of presenting Apple's great operating Systems -- first System 7.5 in Oct '94, then a "Tour of the System (7.5) Folder and Windows 95" in Sept '95, "Tour of Copland" in Aug '96, and now, finally, "Mac OS 8" this Sept '97.

But tonight is different. And better. And very special. This night, this month, this year, we get to present Family, one of our own...
