The Week's Front Page News At The MUG Center
=================================
CHRIS BREEN'S "BREEN'S BUNGALOW" VIDEO SERIES TO BE MADE AVAILABLE
EXCLUSIVELY TO MACINTOSH USER GROUPS
In a packed-to-the-walls session in the User Group Lounge at Macworld
CreativePro, well known author and Macworld magazine columnist Chris
Breen announced that his video series, "Breen's Bungalow," will soon be
available as exclusive content for Macintosh User Group-produced CDs.
Until now, :Breen's Bungalow: has only been available on the CD
accompanying newsstand copies of Macworld . Soon, MUGs will be able to
include this series of tips, tricks, product reviews and more in creating
value-added CDs for their members.
Chris told an appreciative UGL crowd that he will be providing not only
relevant archived pieces, but also new content, produced exclusively for
user groups. At least some of the files will be made available in higher
quality versions than have ever been published.
Two months ago, Chris and Macworld began providing portions of Chris' Mac
911 column for reprint in MUG newsletters through The MUG Center's
Newsletter Content Email List. This new offering strengthens Macworld 's
support for Macintosh User Groups. They were also a Platinum Sponsor of
Tuesday's User Group Leadership Conference .
Chris is a favorite speaker at Macintosh User Groups and Macworlds on
both coasts, and authored Secrets of the iPod and Mac 91 .
Watch The MUG Center and the Apple User Group Leader Bulletin for details
on the availability of "Breen's Bungalow" for your user group.

THURSDAY AT MACWORLD CREATIVEPRO: A GOOD DAY FOR MACINTOSH USER GROUPS
Thursday at Macworld Creative Pro was an especially good one for
Macintosh User Groups.
The day opened with a long line of enthusiastic, if sleepy, MUG leaders
and ambassadors waiting to get in to the Adobe Breakfast.
Terry White and Dave Helmley provided informative presentations on Adobe
Acrobat 6 and After Effects, and then Rye Livingston raffled off a table
full of Adobe products. The event ended with all attendees receiving a
copy of Adobe Acrobat 6 (standard edition).
A dynamic group of presenters, including David Pogue, Derrick Story,
Jason Snell, Dave Marra, Jim Dalrymple, Dennis Sellers and Ted Landau
kept the User Group Lounge busy and filled all day.
The User Group Guides and User Group Booth also saw their heaviest
traffic of the week.
