Greetings,
We hope that you will join us at Wired Wednesday on
July 25. With more people purchasing Apple computers
and wanting to use them at work, it can be a little
stressful on the IT person who doesn't know a lot
about how to integrate them or even if they should.
There will be time for questions and answers and
maybe a little debating the topic also. Also, please
consider joining our Future Focus EXPO event
committee, our first meeting will be July 17.

- Running ANY Windows application on
mac (virtualization)
