Australian Macworld

Hi All,

There are some exciting changes ahead with Australian Macworld.

You will have already noticed the change in page layout style of the printed magazine and other changes.

An even bigger change is happening early next year. Australian Macworld is getting its’ own website;

The printed magazine will continue to be produced but the website allows further expansion of articles and the inclusion of other topics that couldn’t be accommodated within in confines of a publishing schedule related to a print medium. Continue reading »

The following appeared on The MUG Center and I encourage all Australian MUGs to double check to see if they have an entry there (some of you do, and some don’t).

If your group DOES have any entry, make sure it is current and correct (and perhaps drop Chuck an email so he knows it is correct and who you are ;). If there are mistakes, then also let him know – I can see at least one really obvious mistake and another minor mistake in there.

If your group DOES NOT have an entry, then inform Chuck about your group and get an entry created. Remember this is FREE, year round, publicity for your group and it’ll only take a few minutes to fire off an email and get listed. Continue reading »

Meeting Date Request

Hi All,

I’m about a week early asking for details of your _MAY_ meetings but personal commitments, including prep for the Thirty Apple Years presentation I’m giving on April 1st, that is happening in the last week of March (when I would normally be preparing the Australian Macworld MUG Events Calendar) means I’m going to need it a little earlier, but at least I’m giving you over a week’s notice (unlike a few months ago, when I only gave an overnight reminder) Continue reading »

Hi All,

Time passes so quickly – it seems like only yesterday that I wrote to you all seeking details for your March meetings and here I am asking about APRIL.

As mentioned last time, April 1, 2006 is the Thirtieth Anniversary of Apple Computer. I already know a few groups have special events planned – If YOUR group is planning on a special celebration of this milestone, please let me know so it can be included in MUG Event Calendar. Continue reading »

Hi All,

Hope you have all had a great break and you’ve been following all the news from Macworld Expo last week – which should provide many topics for MUGs to discuss over coming months.

I trust by now you’ve all had a chance to see the January issue of Australian Macworld, with the first MUG Event listing. Thank you to all those who provided feedback to either myself or better still directly to Matthew Powell of Niche Publishing. It has been encouraging to get positive responses and further updated contact info. Continue reading »
