A member just requested the password to the account so that he could
access the tutorials at the dot Mac Learning Center. The request came
after a demo I gave on dot Mac using our club account. The member felt
that because the account belonged the club, then all club members
should have access to the services. I disagreed with the member saying
that I was under the impression that it was for club use in this way:
use for UG website, file sharing and other storage, and dot
Mac/iDisk/application demo purposes.
I am the Ambassador for the Lakeland Area MUG. I see the free dot Mac
account as an educational tool for everyone to learn from. Access to
the Tutorials by everyone is a must. Yes, allowing all your MUG
members to access the account makes it susceptible to mis-use
(accidental), but it allows everyone to learn about many web features.
I ALSO use the account as a MUG website, a means to get our message
out. I encourage our members to set the website as home page for their
browser. So far no one has gone in and messed with things. Recently,
I set up some questions for members to research using the dot Mac
account. Allowing everyone to educate themselves will hopefully lead
to someone signing up for their own account. Dig into dot Mac, and you
will find many Program ideas. Most all messages to MUG members go out
under the dot Mac Mail account.
