The Week's Front Page News At The MUG Center
=================================
NEW USER GROUP REPORT FEATURES APPLE-DAYTON & COMPUTERFEST
Regional events conducted by user groups of many platforms are perfect
places for MUGs to exhibit...not only to get their word out, but to
expose Windows users to a better alternative. Apple-Dayton is doing just
that by participating in Computerfest in Dayton, an annual event which
brings in 20,000 - 30,000 attendees. David Thomas talks about all the
offerings at Computerfest, what part their group plays, how their group
functions as a Special Interest Group of a larger, multi-platform
organization and some ambitious plans for next year's event. You can
listen here:

Hosted by Chuck Joiner, the User Group Report is the series of audio
interviews with people making news in the user group community.
MUG MEMBERS VOLUNTEER AT AREA2 CONCERT EVENTS
Macintosh User Group leaders and members are helping man the Apple iPod
Booth at this year's Area2 Festival. Concert-goers can get a hands-on
iPod demo in between sets by notable artists such as Moby, David Bowie,
the Blue Man Group and more. Photo galleries of the events and the MUG
volunteers are coming online, including one from Mansfield MA featuring
members of the Boston Final Cut Pro User Group, the Boston College
Macintosh User Group and Wired Women (BFCPUG has posted their own of the
same event). The Washintgon DC tour stop is documented by the Virginia
Macintosh Users Group, who volunteered for that show.
APPLE REGIONAL LIAISON UPDATES
