5] - Apple History
.......................
Part of the fun of user groups is looking at where we have been. Two
innovative ways to remember the past come from fiMUG in Finland and
Syracuse MUG in New York. As part of their MacMessut (MacExpo) fiMUG
printed tee shirts with twenty years of the computers we know and
love. SMUG holds history nights, where Mac historians bring in old,
working equipment for display and discussion. Does your group do
something interesting?
Visit these two groups to see what else they are up to.
