July 18th MacSTAC Meeting

Reminder that the July MacSTAC meeting is THIS THURSDAY at 630 PM, Vestal Library. Bring you unresolved questions and problems to be solved by our award-winning, highly sought after, distinguished, and world-renowned board of ex-perts*.

*The word "expert" is formed from the conjunction of two roots which, phonetically, can be represented as "x" and "spurt". Everyone knows that "X" is an unknown quantity. A "spurt" is what one gets from squeezing a drop of water. Therefore, an expert is an unknown drip under pressure.
