Hello everybody Please do not reply to this message on list. If you wish to comment, please contact the new member or the support personnel directly.
Until quite recently, it was traditional when new members joined the Mac Access Dot Net email forum that Gordon, Tracy and I tried to welcome the new member(s) personally. Sadly, due to time constraints, we have let that tradition lapse. I believe that it should now be revived. In keeping with that tradition, we are delighted to welcome: ileen Misrahi to our number. We are gratified by the fact that Mac Access is growing globally. We hope that you will find [email protected] a pleasant, friendly and worthwhile place to be. We hope also that you will spread the word about Mac Access amongst your friends, and look forward to welcoming them too. In this forum you will find a wealth of knowledge, and people with a variety of skill levels ranging from the total novice to the application developers with advanced skills. Then there are those who don't yet own a Mac, but have a keen interest; and those who just use iOS devices but who are keen enthusiasts. We hope you will feel free to post your questions and constructive comment, whatever your skill levels may be. Be assured, there will be none of the ridiculing and flaming which we know takes place in other groups. That kind of behaviour is not tolerated in Mac-Access. Also, please do not try to CC messages intended for other groups to Mac Access, or visa versa. Doing so will cause your message to bounce, and may result in us having to place you into moderation mode which would be tedious for us, and frustrating for you. Remember that no question is too trivial. The beginning of wisdom is “I Do Not Know!”. We do, however, encourage members to use the list archive pages. They may well contain the answers to your questions which would mean that you have what you need more quickly. The archive addresses are listed at the bottom of every message posted to this group. Anything Mac OS and iOS is on topic for this group. In the case of virtualisation applications such as Fusion and Parallels Desktop, the configuration of the applications themselves, plus the configuration of the virtual machines is on topic. However, the configuration of Windows or any other operating systems within that virtual machine is off topic. The exception to that is if you're using another instance of OSX within the virtual machine. This has always been a bit of a grey area; but we hope this clarifies the position. We should also make clear the fact that Apple's Windows applications are off topic for this group. This is strictly an iOS and Mac OS discussion forum. If you have any list-related queries, please do not hesitate to contact Tracy, Gordon and myself, (the list owners), at <[email protected]>, and we will be happy to help you. Finally, I thought you might like to know that currently we are offering all Mac-Access. members the opportunity to purchase the Take Control Of Your Mac publications, published by Tidbits.com, at an 80% discount. If you want to know more, please contact the above support address. For a listing of the books available please visit: <http://www.mac-access.net/Take-Control.html> Get back to us with a list of books or the name of the book that interests you and we'll tell you how to proceed. We should make it clear that under the current rules, group members must have ben, and agree to remain a member of Mac Access for a period of no less than 28 days prior to their first purchase. This rule now exists because, sadly, we were getting some members joining to exploit the system and then leave. Once again, a very warm welcome to the group. We hope you find your membership an enjoyable, instructive and stimulating experience. And remember that, should you need list support or have any questions regarding list content, help is always on hand. Feel free to contact the list owner and support personnel on <[email protected]> at any time.
