[SGVLUG] MS Windows 8 going Apple iOS w app store, developers not happy

[Scott Packard]

If you're looking for a "SD" on parking, park in Chinatown and take the bus in.
Several judges do this.
The lot on N Hill St and Alpine Ave is $4/day, if I remember
correctly.  According to the
latest Google Maps image it is.

Regards, Scott
