On November 19th we had the pleasure of having two good presenters. After our general Q&A Session we heard from Tony Madej from VideoGenics. Tony told us about the InkCaddy II System. This system is design for specific Epson inkjet printers and offers a significant savings over buying smaller Epson brand cartridges. Tony also showed us some printable CDR media that was water resistent. The water resistent CDRs had a much brighter or more professional looking image. Both examples were printed with ink from the InkCaddy II system.

Then we switched gears and James Lee from Tropical Software showed us the latest version of TopXNotes, a notepad replacement for Mac OS X. I must say that I was very impressed at how well thought out TopXNotes was. James not only fielded questions about his product, but he also fielded questions in our General Q&A session. It was clear that James is a true Mac user and fit in very nicely in our group. I think he was having fun just being around our enthusiastic bunch.
