Just to follow up on the meeting announcement earlier this month..

I'm pleased to announce that Pittsburgh Filmmakers will hold a 
collaborative event with the WPLUG on Saturday, October 18th from 
11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. in PF Room 104. 

WPLUG member Vance Kochenderfer will deliver a presentation entitled 
"Intro to Copyright." For more info about it, check out the wiki page[1].

Filmmakers will use the occasion to clear out old Macs from the IT storage 
closet. We have Mac Minis, MacBooks, G5s, G4s, eMacs, and a few other 
odds and 
ends that all need to go. We'd like to give /you/ the opportunity to take 
them.

These Macs are too old to run OS X, but they should support Linux. You 
could /try/ Windows, but I don't know how well it would run.

NO SUPPORT WILL BE PROVIDED. Some Macs may not come with all of their 
accessories, and some may have physical imperfections. If you're okay with 
all that, please contact me so I can prepare a Mac for pickup on the 18th.
