4 - TMC BLOG - HOW AND WHY TO BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM THE MUG CENTER WAY, PART 4

5 - TMC 101: USER GROUP VENDOR OFFER COVERAGE
One of the main ways that vendors in the Mac industry and beyond
interact with Mac user groups and their members is by extending special

keeping user group members informed about the availability of these
offers, and tools to help user group leaders deliver the information to
their members. (more)
