1 - The MUG Event Calendar for the Week of September 25: Andy Ihnatko,

3 - TMC Bargain Hunter: Saving Money on .Mac

With each update to the Mac OS, Apple seems to add more integration and
functionality with their .Mac service. Even if you don't use it for

syncing your bookmarks and other information between different Macs with
iSync, backing up critical data off-site with Backup or just being able
to drag-and-drop copy to your iDisk makes it a worthwhile investment..

difficult to justify, especially if you have more than one .Mac account.
However, there's nothing that says you have to pay full retail. (more)

Regional MUG Event
<http://www.mugcenter.com/news/2006/092006/0918ncmug.html>
Another regional MUG event has hit the radar, this one featuring several
well-known Macintosh personalities and Mac vendors. The 14th Mac
Computer Expo (MCE) will be held in Santa Rosa CA and organized by the
North Coast Macintosh Users Group (NCMUG) on October 7. This year's
event will include presentations from digital photography expert Derrick
Story, Mac author Jim Heid, Take Control author Joe Kissell and graphic
artist Burt Monroy. (more)
