Paul Bernhardt shared some wonderful knowledge about Pages, Numbers and Keynote with us today. FSU employees can purchase an iWork 09 license for FSU use through Beth Meeks for $40... Educational discount version for home use is $70.
Several people mentioned computers for sale... The group agreed to post computers for sale on the blog, but would not act as a middle man in any transaction.
The group is still looking at March dates and trying to work around Spring Break. Friday seems to work best for everyone.
