iLife on sale!
For any user with a dot mac account, iLife is $30 off, but only until 02/25. Jump on it if you have dot mac. We don’t usually see these kinds of deals. Too bad I finally bought it full price last month, but you all can get in on it if you’ve been holding out.
If [...]
New Theme
I’ve changed us to a theme that looks a lot like our old theme but is a bit more readable. The text on the old one was way too small for a lot of us. Let me know if you have a theme you’d like to see up here, or if you like this one.
Mac Basics Class
Kachemacs, check your new Community Schools catalog. Our own Kachemac, Stephen Scarpitta, is running a 5 part series of Mac tutorials at the high school. I would highly encourage the beginning Mac users in the group to attend. As much as we try to cater to all levels of users, including beginners, [...]
Take Control!
We are recognized as a Mac Users Group by TidBITS and Take Control Books. This means savings on books for members. Take a look at Take Control Books for a number of Mac related titles. The primary distribution method for these books is e-book format, which is a PDF file you can read on your [...]
Back to the library!
We have the library meeting room for the next meeting. We will also have access to the study rooms that seat 6 so if we get too crowded the techies can splinter off and do their own thing.
I’m looking forward to doing an entry level workshop next time. The projector would be helpful in doing [...]
Apple Tuesday!
You know you’re a Mac addict when you get up Tuesday morning and wait for the Apple store to come back up after their weekly Tuesday update. This time, Apple brings us a deep price slash on the little bitty iPod Shuffle. I’ve had one of them since the pre-order time when they first came [...]
Topic for next meeting
I’d like to address the beginners in the next meeting because I’m thinking they’ve been a bit neglected. I’d like to present “Out of the box to configuring Docks: A quick start guide to personalizing your Mac.” We can address user preferences, such as wallpaper, screensavers, and dock organization. Also we can touch on setting [...]
Blueberry iMac for training available.
I picked up one of those Lifesaver g3 iMacs for a good price and upgraded it to run Panther. The person who had wanted it can’t use it now, so I still have it. It even has a box. I’d like it to be used on a loan basis for our members who have come [...]
Review guidelines
I have compiled, with the help of the AAUG (Anchorage Users Group), a document to guide the product reviewers. Anyone who reviews has 30 days to follow these guidelines and produce a written review to be published on the site. The product may also be featured in a meeting, where the product and the reviewer [...]
