MEETING TOPIC: Hidden Gems of macOS 15.4
Mike dives into his bag of Mac tricks to share a handful of his favorite tips & tricks for macOS. No "One Trick Pony" apps need apply as Mike’s tips will focus on the core Out-of-the-Box Mac-using experience including apps as varied as the Finder, Reminders, Notes, and more!

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER: Mike Potter
Mike’s love-affair with Apple began in his Junior High Library playing Lemonade Stand and "Star Trek" on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. After launching his first podcast in 2005, Mike created a second podcast for the Apple Community in 2006 called, For Mac Eyes Only. In the 19 years since episode 0 rolled off his microphone, Mike has released over 450 episodes of For Mac Eyes Only and more than 135 Quick Tips and other Special Segments.
In 2015, Mike launched Macstock, an Apple-focused conference geared toward end-users of all experience levels. Each year, Macstock plays host to presenters and attendees from around the world including long-time users, students, retirees, professional developers, business owners, and even those who are new to Apple’s products! Macstock's specific focus on the end-user makes it a unique event within the independent Apple conference community.
