Hello,

I attended my first DMMUG meeting on Tuesday and I had
a wonderful time. The presentation was very
informative. I plan to attend as often as possible.

I have found a website that has a lot of information
about the MAC. 

http://www.macosxhints.com/

I am not sure if this link is posted on the DMMUG
website or not.

Thanks,
Michael
