Nicholas Pyers, Founder & Publisher, AppleUsers.org
announced the relaunch of the AppleUsers.org Disc of the
Month Project, and open it up to all Apple User Groups,
Globally! The first title we will be releasing to all Apple
User Groups will be "Festive Celebrations "-- a Disc that
merges two titles that we had previously released to
Australian Apple User Groups, Festive Fun II and
Celebrations Galore, which were full of Holiday focused
clipart, images, fonts, greeting cards, colouring books and
more, on to a single DVD.
(New twist : "disk of the month" were always called "DOM" ...
www.appleusers.org calls theirs "DOTM" which is
much harder to say.)
Apple Users is a consortium of Australian Apple user groups.
