Following a half hour light food break consisting of anniversary cake as well as food and cola (with donations accepted to share food and drink costs) , the afternoon program begins. It offers three concurrent afternoon special interest group (SIG) sessions. The New User/Mac OSX Basics SIG addresses basic how-to-do-it on a Macintosh tasks, related questions, and activities. iLife SIG, the second session, focuses on using one or more of the five software products in Apple's iLife suite making doing a fun task easier or showing how to more easily produce near-professional results.
