The MUG Event Calendar for December 8: Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus, Glenn Fleishman, Jean MacDonald of SmileOnMyMac and Party, Party, Party!
While some Mac User Groups will feature some notable speakers and guests, the word for the week is “party!”
Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus will be the special holiday guest for a group in Texas, Glenn Fleishman of TidBITS and Take Control fame will virtual visit a group in Oregon, and Jean MacDonald of SmileOnMyMac will show off their wares to another Oregon group.
Some other topics scheduled for this week include Adobe Photoshop Elements, converting old videos to DVD, holiday gifts, MobileMe, iTunes, iPods and iPhones, and Macintosh security. Of course, all that pales in comparison to the number of holiday parties, dinners, socials, and get-togethers.
Santa’s making his list, checking it twice…no, not that list. He’s checking to see if your group’s next meeting is on the MUG Event Calendar. Don’t let Santa down. Email your group’s meeting information to The MUG Center. We’ll post it to The MUG Event Calendar and include it in our weekly Briefing, as well as send a special dispatch to the North Pole so you’ll be on the list you deserve.
