For those of you who are more advanced users we have something planned for you as well. Below are the details.

What: BYUMUG Meeting
When: Thursday October 18, 2007
Where: 3710 HBLL (South Entrance of the Library)
Time: 5:30pm - 7pm
Cost: Free!! Everyone is invited!

Prizes and refreshments for all who attend! If you are new Mac user bring your questions! We will stay after and answer questions on any topic. For more info and free membership, visit mac.byu.edu. Compared to OS X, Windows may suck, but sometimes there isn’t a good alternative, so three of our brave BYUMUG members have risked blue screens of death, viruses, and system crashes to teach us all about the joys of running Windows on the Mac. Our meeting this thursday will include: Demos of Parallels, Fusion and Bootcamp. Learn the difference between these technologies, and which is right for you. See Windows XP and Vista on the Mac.

My recruiter, Lindsay Turner—who deals primarily with IT-related jobs at Apple—as well as 2 BYU alumni currently working at Apple will be on campus Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

An information session will be held Wednesday evening from 6-7 in room 3290 of the Wilkinson Center, around the corner from Joe’s digs at Cougar Computer. Additionally, Apple will have a booth at the technical career fair on Thursday from 9 am - 3 pm or thereabouts.

For those interested, come meet some people from Apple and see if it’s a good match for you. They’re primarily recruiting technical people such as software engineers and IT professionals, but there are tons of opportunities in other areas inside the company, and I’m sure that you can get in touch with recruiters for different departments.
