BMUG was a Berkeley-based Macintosh Users Group (MUG) that was not directly affiliated with the university beyond being a registered student group, which allowed them to meet on campus. Their offices were on Center street, just west of Shattuck (in a building that has since been torn down).
MAGNet (the Mac Administrators Group Network, forcing an acronym) was the campus Mac Administrator’s group. MAGNet and Micronet were merged on August 12, 2011. Software distribution, which handled campus wide site licenses and distributed that software on disk, CD, and from fileservers like Cornucopia (and a PC equivalent, whose name escapes me at the moment), was based on the second floor of Evans Hall.
