Martin Schneider from MYOB will be demonstrating MYOB's latest Mac only range of accounting packages for managing anything from mini business finances up to global enterprises.

The new range of Mac accounting software from MYOB has been built from the ground up by a dedicated Mac team, with stuff like iCal and .Mac integration and a proper Mac user interface. This session will give you an overview of the product range, how to use it along with hints and tips on making the most of the software.

Well it seems the iPhone is a resounding success. Loads of them have shipped and with the new development opportunities opening up from apple (see iPhone developer site) things can only get better.

I was sceptical at first and I wouldn't have got my iPhone except a colleague, (thanks Gavin) was over in New York and managed to get me a 4GB one for what ended up being about £160. Now I'm totally hooked. Not only does it do phone calls, but I can browse, play podcasts and you know the rest. If not have a look here.

So with an American phone supplied with an AT&T SIM card how have I got it working over here?

Well since the launch, folks have been hard at work hacking the way the phone works. Those clever l33t people have consistently managed to break away at Apple's locking techniques, most notably is ziphone.org. They provide a free tool to unlock a phone for use on any network in any country.  read more »

iLife '08 boxFor April's meeting, Ben has volunteered to give a tour of iLife 08. He hopes we won't sidetrack him to produce a mega blockbuster in iMovie like last time, but I think he is tempting fate.

I had a go at producing a diagram using Gliffy. It was free and I thought it would be a worthwhile thing to try for sharing network diagrams. What do you think?
