Monday 22 April

Hi all,

Today's iTunes (making playlists and burning CDs) class turned into exploring iTunes U and Podcasts and we found some great lectures to listen to, there's something for everyone!

I mentioned this article, The Great NBN Fail is about the National Broadband Network and (in my opinion) gives a great (and lengthy) overview of what the NBN will/can do for Australia.

Next week (29 April) we are looking at Contacts and Calendars (iCal) - adding contacts, creating groups, using iCal and syncing to other devices.

And to everyone who is unwell at the moment, wishing you a speedy recovery and that we'll see you soon!
