Meetups revived! Mon 30 Apr 2007: 7pm @ Geek Terminal

Our anarchic, agenda-free Mac Meetup Singapore series is being revived on Monday, 30th April 2007: 7pm - 10pm, at Geek Terminal. This is a new F&B joint at 55 Market Street, opposite Golden Shoe Carpark and next to Raffles Place MRT. Click for map.

Who can come - anyone! These meetups are powered by Me@N but it has always been open to anyone who is interested in a free exchange of thoughts.

Since we didn't meetup in 2006, it's going to be really interesting. Web2.0 has exploded and OS X Leopard draws near. Many of us are equipped with gmail accounts and our Macs now bear Intel chips, an apparent heresy that was well embraced by most of us - we just want a mac that dazzles us with its abilities!

Remember when we were peering at a preview of the Black Cat? Ivor took a lovely photo then (click to see the gallery):


I met the friendly Geek Terminal staff at Nexus 2007 and its supposed to be geek-friendly place, e.g.
  • Free power supply at every table for laptops and phones,
  • Free faster high speed wireless (2Mbit) all day
  • Opens daily until 10pm.

Apparently Apple will be launching iPhone and AppleTV there in upcoming months.

It'll be symbolic to restart in April because Me@Ners first met in Marche (Hereen) in April 1999. Yup, 8 years ago!
