Interesting choice of phrase, Dave. IMHO, that's a place where MUGs
haven't sufficiently evolved.
With Apple as a dominant force in portable music players and smart
phones, creating a market for tablet devices, and the Mac having
achieved credibility in all but the most uninformed corners, there
really is no "cause" any more. It has been replaced (much to the
surprise of many) by an Apple community that is diverse in both breadth
and depth. Along with that, a heightened technological awareness has
developed (think how many people use Facebook, Twiitter, etc, who don't
consider themselves technologists in any way, shape or form).
The sooner some of those factors are recognized by MUGs, the sooner they
will be positioned to take advantage of the opportunities they present,
regardless of what model the groups select for their organizations.
