The entertaining workshops are intended to spread awareness about Macintosh computers by lifting the curtain on their mystique and to continue the company's tradition of commitment to Macintosh users. The workshops in each city will appeal to Macintosh users who want to know more about their computers, computer buyers who are on the fence about their next purchase, and consumers who want to know about using Video Relay Service on a Mac computer.
