AND iCALSHARE ON THE USER GROUP REPORT
The User Group Report covers a wide variety of Macintosh User Group news,
events, history and more in the new edition:
- Ken Bereski of The Boston College Macintosh Users Group discusses his
group's upcoming iMovieFest. The event has grown and evolved since it was
first held on the their campus last year. Find out how it has promoted
"switching," generated enthusiasm and will help bring the student
population closer together.
- Tom Negrino, Contributing Editor of Macworld magazine and author of
Microsoft Office v. X for Mac Inside Out and JavaScript for the World
Wide Web: Visual QuickStart Guide talks about why he enjoys both
presenting to and attending MUG meetings, his past as a user group
president, and his top 3 (ok, 4) tips for MUG leaders.
- Matt Johnson of the Northern Ireland Macintosh User Group profiles his
group, outlines some of the challenges of being a Mac user in a country
with no authorized Mac dealers, and covers his group's fund-raising
project to raise money for a new G4 for a local cancer organization.
- Dan Berube of the Boston Final Cut Pro User Group makes his first
appearance as our correspondent to the Final Cut Pro User Group Network.
Dan talks about what the FCP User Group Network is, where they are, why
they are just a little bit different than the average MUG, and why you
should stop at the Final Cut Pro User Group Theater at Macworld Expo.
- Patrick Crowley of iCalShare.com tells us what his site is all about,
what it offers, how it is growing, and how Macintosh User Groups are
using it to help promote themselves to the larger MUG community (to the
point he may add a special section just for MUGs.)
The User Group Report is the audio series hosted by Chuck Joiner that
features interviews with people making news in the user group community.

APPLE USER GROUP SITE OFFERS INFO FOR CAMPUS MUGs
Campus user groups are one of the fastest growing segments of the
Macintosh User Group community. During the recent renovation of the Apple

groups was created. Divisions under this section include:
- Reasons To Join

MUG TIP: APPLE HELPS MAC BUYERS FIND USER GROUPS - IS YOUR INFO UP-TO-DATE?
Did you know that Apple supports user groups at the Apple Stores? With
every purchase of a Mac, a small card is given to the customer with his/
her receipt. It includes a reference to user groups, along with listings
of store events, email newsletters, technical support and more
A brief but specific reference to MUGs is also made in all Apple product
email registration acknowledgements
With Apple making all Mac buyers aware of the global Macintosh User Group
community, it is more important than ever to have your group's
information in the Apple User Group Locator up-to-date. Check your's
today so prospective members can find you.
