Mac OS X classes will be held in conjunction with Computerfest, the primary fund-raiser for the Dayton Microcomputer Association (DMA). The event will be held in Dayton, Ohio, on Aug. 23-24 at the Dayton Hara Arena. The Mac OS X classes will be held prior to Computerfest itself and will take place at the Hara Arena Convention Center.

The courses are being held as a way for the DMA to help meet the needs of the IT community as well as the general public, according to Gary Mullins, co-chair of Computerfest.
