Ron and Geoff are very well known to AUSOM regulars. Both are current SIG leaders and administrators of FirstClass. They have a wealth of knowledge of Mac systems and particularly the functioning of FirstClass.
Ron and Geoff will give an explanation of the workings of First Class and the benefits of being an account holder. They will inform us of the installation and added benefits of the new X sever.
