Take Control Books is a project that offers books of all topics and types. But where some of their rivals end up with $35 tomes of massive content, Take Control writes shorter, more essential books… and then publishes them in PDF form for around $10!

We have one of their more prolific authors - Joe Kissell - in to talk to us about his tips and learning of Mac maintenance, Mac troubleshooting, Running Windows, using passwords, and doing backups.

We’ll also have a demo of WebGem: a photo sharing application, plus news, rumors, questions, answers, and time with fellow members! Meeting is Monday night, May 21, at 7:00 PM - Apple Town Hall theatre at Apple Campus, 4 Infinite Loop, Cupertino. Meeting is free!
