SPECIAL MEETING

March 16th, 2005

By Phil Beall

MacWest NL Editor

The meeting opened with MacWest

President Dale Marcell thanking everyone

for coming to the meeting. He asked if we

had any guests, there was a couple, he hoped

they would enjoy the meeting, He then

turned the meeting over to the Program

Director, Terry Lawrence, who introduced

the evening’s speaker Arvin Pasildo, from

LaCie. This was Arvin’s third time at one

of our meetings.

Arvin had a variety of new products to

demo and he answered numerous questions.

The new DVD burners can burn DVD+R

and DVD-R along with DVD-RW’s, plus

they can do the dual layer disks. All the

LaCie products come with software and all

the cables that are needed. He also showed

the new Lightscribe burners that will burn

a label directly onto the top of the DVD.

They will be shipping at the beginning of

April.

Another product that is of great interest

is the Silverscreen Multimedia drive. It is

a 40 or 80 gig hard drive that will copy

your DVD’s and mp3’s, on to and then

output them to your TV. They have both

S video and RCA plugs so you can play

the movies without a computer. It is handy

if you have children who have DVD’s

that they want to watch, they can use this

and you do not have to worry them

handling the original DVD and have them

getting damaged. You can also plug it

into your portable LCD players that are in a

vehicle if it has S video or RCA plugs.

Arvin went on to talk about tape

backup drives, saying that they

are still one of the best ways to

backup your files. Another way

to backup is using the Ethernet

Disk Mini, (250 gig or 400 gig)

which is a hard drive that you put

in you network allowing data to

be sent to it from all the computers

on the network. Since it is

connected by Ethernet the drive

can be stored in a safe place at the

office or at home.

Arvin finished the

meeting with a

quick look at the

monitors that LaCie has. They

have added LCD monitors to

go along with their CRT’s. The

LCD monitors can be pivoted

to either portrait or landscape

display.

Stephen and Henry from

Discount Mac had many of

the above mentioned products

on hand at the meeting and

anyone who bought them

there, Discount Mac covered

the PST and GST.

To finish up, we held a raffle

draw for a LaCie data watch

and a memory card reader.

This meeting was video taped for a demo

of iMovie and iDVD which will be presented

at the April 13

th

meeting.

Stephen and Henry from Discount Mac were once

again on hand at our meeting.

Fritz left, and Paul, long time MacWest members,

have a look at one of the LaCie products.

Arvin Pasildo from LaCie, having

some fun with the audience.
