“The Power of X” Unleashed

September 16th, 2006

The day of the MacNUS seminar has finally arrived, and oh boy, there’s a big crowd attending this annual event!

We kicked off the seminar with some of the latest “Get a Mac” advertisments. The one on the screen is the advert on device drivers support in OS X.

We also set up a video camera to shoot any hanky panky business of the audience… Hehz, just kidding, it’s for future tutorial purposes! Check out our professional camera man Hansen. =P

Everyone who attended the seminar got freebies too, this is the nicely plastic wrapped freebie. An exclusive “Authorised Apple User” T-Shirt.

Along every table in the auditorium lay rows of MacBooks of all kinds.

Here are pics of some of our presenters (Ryu, Hansen, Shishun, Yan Yan & Iska) giving their presentations.

Ryu happily talking about his favourite Mac OS X features:

And Hansen asking for a show of hands of people using his favourite Instant Messanger client.

Great seminar, isn’t it?
I’ll definitely look forward to the next one. 楽しみ!

And of course, MacNUS will like to thank Diversitec Distributors, ComCentre, the MacNUS executive committee and everyone who made this a successful event.

As the matriculation fair is over, you might be thinking that the Apple booth cannot be found any more…. Nahz, it’s still around, but now at YIH 2nd floor! As of now the time of posting, I’m writing from one of the MacBooks on display! =P
