Apple User Group Bulletin - March 16, 2016
......................................................................
This month's Featured Vendor is VueScan, makers of the world's most widely used
third party scanning software. Hamrick Software is willing to do remote group
presentations and even has a special offer for those who visit. Why not use
VueScan from Hamrick Software as your next meeting topic?
In a little over two weeks, we will be celebrating Apple's 40th anniversary. So, we
did a quick survey to get a glimpse of the groups that were around when the Apple
story started and those that joined the community over the years. The survey found
groups who were meeting in 1976, including one group that had Andy Herzfeld and Woz
as founding members! Currently, AUSOM not only has over 600 members, but they have 62
members who have had continual membership since the 1980s and another 145 who joined
in the 1990s.
From the UK to the Netherlands, to New Zealand, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Oneonta and
across the globe, groups are proud of their pasts and excited about the future.
Some groups started as generic computer groups, others formed when the first Apple
came out of that famous garage. Still others formed because of a perfect joining of
technologies, such as creative pros at the Adobe Technology Exchange of Southern
California who found that Adobe’s creative graphics products and Apple’s amazing
hardware and interface opened new and exciting possibilities. Of course, new products
brought new clubs, from Warren’s AppleWorks User Group, once over 15,000 members
strong, to those Powerbooks, iMacs, iOS and everything in between.
Be sure to check out the groups who have been with us for years and the members who
make them run on this month's Apple User Group Resources Blog.
