We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent.

Macintosh Users Groups (MUGS) help both new and experienced users to get the most from their Macintosh computers and Apple iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch). The meetings have a social atmosphere where members can network and connect with each other.

The Villages MUG, over four hundred strong and growing, has several meeetings each month to provide help and information on many levels to members.

We have a Google Group, administered by Jim Rietz. It is a way for members to talk to members.

To join the Google Group:

1. You must be a paid member of The Villages Macintosh Users Group (TVMUG).
 
2. Put your full and accurate email address in the box above. 

3. Click on "Subscribe."

4. You will receive a confirmation email to which you need to respond.

Once you are subscribed, you will start receiving e-mails from the Group, and you can respond to posts directly in your e-mail program or you can go to Google Groups in your Web browser to read and respond to e-mails.  The Google Group is essentially a forum for asking and answering questions about anything Apple, Macs, iPads, iPhones, or iPods. 

You can view the group here: http://groups.google.com/group/tvmug/ but until you are a member, you won't be able to post or respond.  If you are a paid member, you should definitely sign up because this is a great source of information, even if the only Apple product you are using is an iPad.

So join now! Just fill out the form below.
