Greetings Lorene and everyone.
Believe me I understand all too well the economics of the reasons behind
the scenes, but my first reaction is still what I mentioned. It IS a
bummer for those in UGs who are trying to plan fun, informative learning
experiences for their memberships and have the added bonus of hearing
about the new upcoming applications available to Mac users. User Group
contact programs save everyone involved time and expense and builds a
relationship that is helpful to everyone. Which is simpler? Emailing
and calling myriads of telephone numbers trying to find a vendor
representative to talk to or having someone dedicated to just that and
having the information out there for those that need it?
It seems to me, that recently some major corporations have turned up
their noses at our chosen platform. Yes I realize we are the minority,
but it still rankles. And there's no hiding those feelings like it
wasn't happening and hiding our heads in the sand.
My appreciation of all the support that many of the vendors provide for
MUGs was not needed to be mentioned. That is there and understood
wihtout it having to be said, especially for anyone in a leadership
position in our MUG community. Our boundless appreciation for the many
opportunities available is (or should be) the method of the MUG
business. But any mention of a lost service does bring sadness
nevertheless, as each is significant to the life of MUGs around the
world.
