However, again this great idea is a moot point since the MUG Center

lists all the vendor deals in an unpassword protected area, thus

anyone to see those deals and defeating the entire purpose of MUG
Deals and
the reason for keeping this information private:
http://www.mugcenter.com/vendornews/vendornews.html
Randy, I'd appreciate you reviewing the accuracy of your information
when
referring to my site.
The deals are indeed listed there, but not the URLs or access codes -
they are NOT listed. In this way we help spread the word about the
availability of MUG deals, but preserve the exclusivity and value of
the
asset.

Just to test this out I went to the MugCenter and clicked on the above
listing. My next click was on Casady & Greens link to their user group
store.
http://ug.casadyg.com/?page=shop/idata902
I just purchased Captain Bumper at the UG Price of $14.95 Signed up as
a new customer, completed the transaction and not once was was I asked
to verify if I was a member of a UG. So the secret here is?
This email address I am using I also just signed up with on Apples
site. There is not one check on either the AUGB or AUGD list to see if
the subscribing person is with a user group or not. Anyone can go
online and sign up for the lists and receive the postings about
passwords and specials.
There is also a link to Softpress
http://www.softpress.com/usergroups/
On this page it also includes the UG code for ordering software
http://www.softpress.com/usergroups/
MYOB is linked right of the specials page and you can navigate to the
PDF order page. It requires that you fill in a UG name and website but
I don't feel like taking the time to send in an order to see if they
contact the MUG to find out if the person ordering is a member or not.
so there may be a few holes left to patch up.
My one and ONLY order with the MugStore ( was horrific but that is
another story) I had to remind them about being a MUG member. They
never would have asked if I had not brought up the issue.
