Summary of February 2013 Meeting
The latest update to Java, how it impacts different versions of OS X, and Java Preferences was the main focus of the meeting. We talked about more features in Preview, ie Screen Capture, reducing PDF file sizes. Other areas of Security were also discussed, and we had our usual Q&A with good discussion.
