Washington Apple Pi

A Community of Apple iPad, iPhone and Mac Users

July 27, 2019 General Meeting: Jimmy Obomsawin

Jimmy Obomsawin will bring his informed and articulate view of Apple's new fall crop of operating systems, including the California-themed macOS Catalina, the numerically themed iOS 13, and the "oh heck, let's just name it something obvious" iPadOS. See link ⇧⇧ for details.

Wanted: missing issues

The Pi has posted a massive library of Washington Apple Pi Journal issues from 1979 to 2016, with thousands of pages of information on everything from Apple II interrupts to adding ringtones to an iPhone. If you have any of these issues and wouldn't mind giving them to us so that we could scan and post them, please write to webmaster@wap.org.
