I also want to clarify that US MUGS do not roll in a wonderland of
free things APPLE. IF you read this list , for instance, you will
soon see that to be the case. Only a handful of MUGS, for instance,
have been able to use the Apple Stores for their programs; this ,
BTW, seems to hinge completely on the individual store managers'
whim, not on a global APPLE policy.
Pity us in New Zealand - with no "Apple" stores, only resellers.
Some of which are mighty fine, and attend meetings with new product
or let us take a PowerBook home for the evening to play.
Different parts of the country vary in how easily APPLE reps are
available to come to MUG meetings.
Most MUGs do not receive gobs from APPLE; we can have our
ambassador sign up to purchase Apple Promo items and we can earn
free dot mac accounts for our MUGS but that is about it.
Indeed. we do get that.. at least here in Wellington. "Our" ARL
probably should order 10 off and spread them round Oceania, but I
don't think Apple allows more than one, and he's not internet
shopping enabled.. :(
Good Luck, "Down Under". Your group sounds very active and in the
end, it is your local Mac users who benefit from and give value to
your group.
Thanks, we aren't too hard done by really... just pay a resellers
margin on top of Apple Australia prices, and have slightly longer
queues for our prized Apple product, it's all worth it in the end -
right?
I for one, will be (first) in line at MagnumMac for an intelBook,
even if I don't buy one on the day from a physical Apple resellers
shop - i'll be there to touch and feel, and take a few photos and
preach to the members before I wait my six weeks for TotallyMac.com
to courier one :)
