Atlanta Macintosh Users Group

Upcoming Special Interest Groups beginning April 22 at Macquarium (7:00PM) Good news! With the support of committed AMUG members we are able to provide some exciting Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for your educational pleasure. Please read the details below, and if you're interested send a quick email to the AMUG Education Director, and let him know you plan to attend one of the SIGs. (Those who already signed up at our last monthly meeting don't need to do it again.)

Mac OS X SIG: Hosted by Jay Cann, this group will explore the Macintosh operating system, the variety of tools supporting it, and more. Past sessions have included discussions on Automator and Applescript, handling file permissions, troubleshooting errors, proper system maintenance, and finding resources on the WWW. Participant questions usually help shape session discussions, and a variety of topics do get discussed.

Filemaker Pro SIG Hosted by Lee Hoong. This group will focus on the Filemaker Pro (FMP) database application with discussion topics aimed at the beginner- or intermediate-level user. Discussions will range from the conceptual design of databases to building standalone database applications to exploring add-on tools. More advanced topics may be covered from time to time, depending on interest. All FMP users, on Macintosh and Windows platforms, are welcome to attend. No attendance fee is required. The SIG meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m.

New to Mac?! SIG: Hosted by Tom Baley and others, this group explores the important basics and fundamentals of using your Mac. Designed for those who have switched recently from another platform to the Macintosh, or those who just bought a Mac, this group will develop a good foundation on using the Macintosh and its basic applications, proper maintenance and care for the Macintosh, and areas of interest for member needs.

Logistics: All SIGs will be meeting on the 4th Tuesday of each month from 7:00PM to approximately 8:30PM at the Macquarium. Members should plan to meet their SIGs on the second floor where we usually sign in and socialize for our monthly meetings. The rooms in that vicinity will be where we meet for our SIGs. I hope to see many of you there! --AMUG Education Director
