Bryan, 

(sorry - I need to pay attention to what email address I use from my 
www.mailblocks.com)
 
Good topic list. For my 2 cents worth, I hope we have the Shareware 
Roundup often! 
 
I also thought it would be nice to have a simple feature where one or 
more members each month show others what programs they have on their 
desktop or which they use often that are special and that they have 
grown to love and depend on. Sometimes the simple things shared among 
each other can be fun to learn about. In the past year's programs I 
learned much about mail and several other programs, including Wiretap, 
from meetings and comments of others at the meetings. 
 
Other possible topics: 
 
A demo of the iChat and iLook. 
 
More on MAC.COM usage and practical "how to" tips. 
 
(though not strictly related to the Mac, a demo of a couple of folks 
different On Line Banking programs might be instructive. Sue and I have 
used 4 different Banks programs, including some that used Quicken and 
other programs. We now use one of the banks that has a heavily promoted 
nationwide free checking and Online Banking and bill paying that is 
flawless and lets us bank and keep records and pay bills whereever we 
are traveling - again not Mac specific but maybe something of interest 
to some).

Now long distance commuting to Columbia, SC but happily able to stay in 
touch from SC with Des Moines 
and able to listen to WOI-AM radio on Real-One Player for the Mac on my 
Powerbook. Ed

Subject: [DM-MUG] Meeting topics 
 
Here is the roundup of subjects we've got "planned" for the coming 
months in no particular order.  
 We will need some volunteers to present these, and would prefer a firm 
commitment.  
 The iLife block will need supporting materials. I'll take "charge" of 
the block and probably at least do GarageBand.  
 We will also try and fit in Macworld, WWDC & other special discussions 
in as we can.
