NJMUG is turning 30! From the Macintosh 128K to the iPhone 6, NJMUG has been there. And this month we're going to celebrate this monumental achievement by hosting our 30th Anniversary Party at the Meadowlands Quality Inn. It'll be a great night of eating, celebrating and reminiscing. And we'll also be raffling off some goodies to those in attendance.

Of course a celebration of this magnitude requires a special speaker and we're proud to announce Macworld Senior Editor, Chris Breen as our featured speaker. Mr. Breen will be talking about "The Future of Apple: Where is Apple Going?"

Chris Breen (Twitter: ), has been a technology writer since the mid-1980's for publications such as MacUser, MacWEEK, and Macworld. He is also the author of Macworld's popular "Mac 911" tips and troubleshooting column as well as numerous technology books, including "Secrets of the iPod", "The iPod and iTunes Pocket Guide", and "Mac 911". Mr. Breen can also be heard on podcasts such as Mac Power Users and the Macworld Podcast.

We look forward to seeing everyone there! And here's to another 30...
