At the last two meetings that I attended, I overheard a lot of discussion about photography during the break. I would like to suggest that we have two meetings on that subject.

I am planning to move IPhoto to an external hard drive (1 TB) to free up space on my IMac 10.6.5. I have just purchased a 2TB time capsule that I will use for backup. My question is: W...
