This edition goes around the world to talk with another Apple Regional

MUG event, and have yet another 25th anniversary celebration with Woz.

Regional Liaison Team member covering Oceania talks about what he has
been doing since his RL appointment, and the response his group is having
to their MovieFest 2003.
- Paul Chadh of Recosoft discusses how his company, based in Japan, sees
user group feedback and exposure as valuable, how they expanded the
effort to the United States, and why they'll be back supporting MUGs in
San Francisco in January.
- Paul Hering of the Flint Apple Club tells us about how they took the
idea of a swap meet and made it something new and unique, outlines their
goals for the future of the event, and shares some terrific one-liners
they use to promote their group.
- Rick Harrison of Apple CIDER gives us a look at his group on their
25th anniversary, why they tried (and succeeded) to get Steve Wozniak to
headline the event, and delivers some thoughts on the influence the Apple
co-founder has had on all of us.
