[WAMUG] "But 3 Get 1 free" Update

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

I hope you and your loved ones had a happy and relaxing Christmas day and have 
not been injured in the rush to get a Boxing Day bargain.

You may remember that an email was sent to the list on the 18th of December 
informing you that your Committee had decided that list members who had paid 
their membership fees for the past three years, 2021-2023, would have free 
membership access for 2024

Today, according to our financial records, I emailed each member to whom this 
applied. 

For the rest of the list members, remember, ,you can still read list posts and 
are always welcome to attend the WAMUG General meetings each month. 

If anyone has any queries regarding membership fees, I am happy to assist where 
I can

Kind regards, 

Maureen

[WAMUG] "Buy3 and get 1 free"

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,
   At the November Committee Meeting, your Committee decided that list
   members who have paid their membership fees for the past three years,
   2021-2023, will have free membership access for 2024.
   It is the Committee's way of saying thank you for your continued
   support. Consider it a “Buy 3 and get 1 free” deal, or perhaps an early
   Christmas present.
   We have a record of the members who have paid fees for the past three
   years and they will contacted individually via email within the week. I
   will notify the mailing list when this occurs.
   Kind regards,
   Maureen

   or just in time, are below.

   MEETING TOPICS

   1 Start with a Q & A session. Share your questions, and we will see if
   we can assist you

   2 PDFGear - free downloadable software.

   Apple’s Preview does 80% of the functions included in PDF Gear, but a
   few extras make PDF Gear a valuable piece of software.

   3 The Way Back Machine

   We have previously looked at this archive of internet sites. But this
   time, we will be focusing on some interesting downloads.

 Hello fellow WAMUGgers,
 Do you know the origins of the idiom to "wing it"?   To 'wing it'
   means
 to make something up as you go along, and it originates in the world
   of
 19th-century theatre when actors might be learning their lines at the
 last minute while standing in the wings or were on stage and had to
   be
 prompted from the wings.
 I have given you this gem of knowledge, not so it may be helpful at
 your next quiz night, though that may be true, but because at this
 month's General Meeting, the committee is 'winging it.'
 We do not have any new software demonstrations, but when we meet, we
 can all contribute something that may inspire, help or further
   develop
 our knowledge of all some things Apple.

[WAMUG] WAMUG General Meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

   I hope you are enjoying your W.A. Day. For most of us, it is a bit wet
   (to say the least), and we may be spending our time indoors on our
   iPads or Macs or phones doing what we can do so well with Apple
   products. This email is to remind you that our meeting is tomorrow,
   June 6, at 7:30 pm, and we have some informative topics to help you
   gain the most from your devices, especially if you have upgraded to
   Ventura.

   If you haven’t yet done so, join the meeting and see what you will be
   able to do when you do.

   MEETING TOPICS


   1 As usual, we will start with our Q session. So if there are any
   questions that haven't been answered on the list ,or you would like to
   have a more personalised answer, we will certainly help solve your
   problem - if we can.

   We will be demonstrating some more tips and tricks to be found in
   Ventura mail and messages

   2 Mail
 * Unsending mail -  Useful for those occasions when you realise, just
   after you have clicked Send, that you didn't mean to send it to
   your boss.
 * Scheduling email - Very handy.
 * Rich Links - A way to give your email more context and detail at a
   glance.

   3 Messages
 * How to edit a message up to 15 minutes after you have sent it.
 * How to undo send message after you have sent it.

   4 We will be looking at the new Free Form app which is Apple’s new app
   designed for idea generation, planning, and collaboration

   5 And finally. a look at PowerPhotos app. - This not an Apple app, but
   it does work with the built-in Photos app on your Mac, giving you tools
   to help you get your photo collection in order

   As always, if you have found something nifty that works for you, we
   would love to hear about it.

[WAMUG] AGM Meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

On May 2, we will hold our Annual General Meeting, followed by our normal 
monthly meeting. Think of it as a 2fa. (Translation - two for one.)

The AGM will not last long and generally entails the President's and 
Treasurer's reports and the election of officials. To have your say and vote 
for committee members, you must be a paid-up member of WAMUG. To ensure foreign 
interests with large off-shore bank accounts do not hack this auspicious 
election process, we have a cut-off date after which only paid-up members can 
vote. The date is Thursday, April 27 2023

Please be aware that you can join WAMUG at any time but can only vote in the 
2023 WAMUG elections if payment has been received by April 27.


Now onto the voting. (I feel as if I am channelling the AEC)

To cast your vote, you need people to vote for. It's simply Democracy 101. The 
task of being a committee member is not onerous. We will not be mounting 
special operations to take over other organisations. 

It does involve attending monthly committee meetings, but these can be done via 
Zoom if members cannot travel or do not live in Perth. But the essential part 
of being a committee member is giving input and ideas. You do not have to be 
knowledgeable about Apple products and software - I am testament to that.

Please think about joining, even just for 12 months.

If you want to become a committee member, help fellow members and wave 
minuscule amounts of power. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to 
contact me via my personal email address.

Cheers,

Maureen Smith

[WAMUG] WMAU General Meeting includes Photos, ChatGPT, & Infinite Macintosh

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello WAMUGers.

   I hope you escape unscathed from any April Fools jokes. Most jokes
   these days are online, and the Washington Post has a tradition of
   debunking many brand and celebrity 'pranks' they can find. Check these
   out for yourself and see if you would have been caught out. The Post
   ruins April Fools' Day, 2023
   edition  [1]https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2023/04/0
   1/april-fools-pranks-hoaxes-2023/

   When you have finished, you should turn your attention to some real
   online information that is not foolish, promotional or a hoax. It is
   WAMUG's April General Meeting.

   Our agenda for this month.

 * Q 

 * 'Saving Photos" (We did not cover this in March's meeting. We hope
   this'll be a discussion rather than a presentation, as each of us
   has a way that works for us of saving and organising these
   memories. If attendees want to show what they do, it's easy to do
   with Zoom. The conversation could range from a digital shoebox
   collection to the ultimate catalogue method using Apple's Photos
   app. I am sure there will be something for everyone

 * ChatGPT- a brief look. How it could work for you.

 * Infinite Macintosh - If you remember (or are curious about) using
   older Macs, you should check out Infinite Macintosh. You click on
   the site, give it a few minutes to load in, and it's just like
   you're sitting behind old reliable one more time.

[WAMUG] WAMUG General Meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello Fellow WAMUGers,

   Depending on when you read this, I hope you are enjoying, or have
   enjoyed, this long weekend. I am letting the List know I can attend
   this month's General Meeting. I thought it would clash with the other
   group I have joined, the Perth Local Time Travel Group. Fortunately,
   they postponed their meeting until last Tuesday.

   So, I will be zooming in to hear and, hopefully, contribute to our
   WAMUG General Meeting on Tuesday 7th, March. (Again,depending on when
   you read this messages tomorrow or today). Zoom will be open from 7:15
pm for a 7:30 pm start.

   Besides our Q session at the start, we will be looking at Parking
   Apps, as we didn't get to cover that in the last meeting. Following
   that, will be a discussion on how we save our photos. Attendees will
   have the opportunity to explain how they save and organise their
   photos, and if they wish, they can demonstrate by presenting their
   screens. (Something that's easy to do on Zoom.)

   The conversation could range from a digital shoebox collection to the
   ultimate catalogue method using Apple's Photos app. I am sure there
   will be something for everyone.

   MEETING DETAILS

   Topics: Q Parking Apps; Saving photos
   Date:   7th March, 2023

   Time:   7:15 pm for a 7:30 pm start (pPerth time)

[WAMUG] February's meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello WAMUGgers,

   Christmas has passed, the New Year festivities are over, and Australia
   Day has been and gone. If you are feeling the post-celebration blues,
   don't despair. There is a celebratory event on the horizon.

   WAMUG's first meeting for 2023 is just nine days away. Yes, our first
   member's meeting will take place on Tuesday, 7 February. So mark the
   date in your calendar.

   WAMUG general meetings are open to WAMUG members and their friends and
   list subscribers. If you know someone who might want to join in, please
   send them the meeting details. (Just no horses. Experience has found
   they are so negative in meetings, such neigh-sayers.)

   Meeting Format

   As usual, we will begin with general greetings followed by question
   time, and then 'show, tell and ask topics.'

   This month's topics are

 * Phone parking apps - their uses, security etc.

 * Revisiting the application Keychain.

   How it works,

   Why you should use it and

   Do you need another password manager app?

 * Using QR codes on your macs

   These ubiquitous black-and-white, two-dimensional barcodes were
   designed to be accessed using smartphone devices. But what if you have
   a mac? Tune into our meeting to find out.

   So mark the date in iCal and set a reminder. We look forward to seeing
   you.

[WAMUG] December's WAMUG General Meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello Fellow WAMUGgers

   We are now in the run up to Christmas.

 * Stores are getting busier.
 * Musak has been replaced by Christmas songs.
 * Red and green decorations abound with sprinklings of artificial
   snow.
 * And …..   it is time for our last General Meeting of 2022.

   Join us this Tuesday, 6th December at 7:30 over Zoom for some knowledge
   gathering and Christmas cheer.

   TOPICS

1. This month our esteemed President, Peter, will take us through
   Raycast, a free productivity launcher helps you complete tasks,
   calculations, etc easily and quickly without having to open various
   applications.

1. We will also do an overview of the Version 2 Affinity Suite of
   products which is proving to be a worthy competitor for Adobe.  For
   a limited time you can purchase a Universal Licence for the entire
   Affinity Suite.  Although this may not be something you are likely
   to use, if you have friends, staff or children who use Adobe
   Products invite them to attend the meeting.

[WAMUG] November's General Meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

   We will hold our general meeting this Tuesday, the first Tuesday of the
   month. There is something else on that day but I cannot think what it
   might be. Obviously not as important as our meeting if it has skipped
   my mind.  (Hee Hee)
   I know some members who could not attend last month's meeting submitted
   questions and did not receive an answer. This is due to the differences
   in styles of email and meeting communications.
   Questions asked in a face-to-face or electronic meeting such as Zoom
   allow everyone to interact, to go back and forth, saying "No, no,
   that's not what I mean", or "Is this what you mean"? Questions asked at
   meetings allow us to check our understanding before answering and
   enable others to contribute.
   So if anyone has questions and cannot attend the meeting, post them to
   the list. I apologise if this sounds harsh, there is no intention to
   offend anyone. We can discuss such questions, but it is a moot effort
   if the questioner is not present to hear the answers.
   Below are the meeting details.
   WAMUG General Meeting
   Agenda includes
   1 Q & A time - send your questions to the list.
   2 A overview of the changes to Apple's books
   3 Zoom tips

   Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,
   Our next Users Group Meeting will be this coming Tuesday, 4 October,
   via Zoom.

   As mentioned in a post on the list on 5 September, the committee often
   needs help to come up with topics for our meetings, which is certainly
   the case this time.
   So …… we are asking our members two things.
   1   Any suggestions from you regarding discussion ideas or topics?
   They do not have to be groundbreaking or complicated. Often a question
   develops into a discussion and learning for us all.
   2   If you have learnt something new or have an app, are you
   willing to share this with others? No great expertise is necessary; ask
   those who have seen some of my demos.
Meeting details will come out shortly.
   Users Group Meeting
   Cheers,
   Maureen Smith

[WAMUG] Users Group Meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

Our next Users Group Meeting will be this coming Tuesday, 4 October, via Zoom. 
 
As mentioned in a post on the list on 5 September, the committee often needs 
help to come up with topics for our meetings, which is certainly the case this 
time. 

So …… we are asking our members two things.

1   Any suggestions from you regarding discussion ideas or topics? They do 
not have to be groundbreaking or complicated. Often a question develops into a 
discussion and learning for us all.

2   If you have learnt something new or have an app, are you willing to 
share this with others? No great expertise is necessary; ask those who have 
seen some of my demos.


 Meeting details will come out shortly.

Users Group Meeting 

Cheers,

Maureen Smith

Re: [WAMUG] Meetings?

[Maureen Smith]

Hi Rosemary,

We are still having the meetings on the 1st Tuesday  of each month.  I am not 
sure what happened  last month. 

A message was sent to the list on the Monday prior to the meeting. It included 
the usual instructions.  I saw your email about the meeting in the evening and  
sent a reply. 

I will check in with you before the next meeting to see if you have received 
the next meeting announcements. 

Cheers,

Maureen

[WAMUG] WAMUG Members meeting Tues 7 June 2022

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

I hope you have had a relaxing long weekend. Now the WA Day celebrations are 
over it is time to focus on the normalities of the week, among them being our 
monthly Members’ Meeting. 

The topic for this week has a ’holiday’ feel about it. We talking about a 
Safari. Not the African variety more the orchard kind. (Apples specifically.)  
We will be looking at how you can extend your Safari as well as investigating 
Tab Groups, Pin Tabs, and the Translate function.

If you are like me and keep using computer and software tools that you always 
use because you just don’t have the time to explore, this could be a meeting 
for you. 

As usual, it will be via zoom.  There will be opportunities to ask questions 
that may not have been answered on the list, or any others that come to mind, 
at the beginning of the meeting


DETAILS 

Topic: Extending your Safari

Date: Tuesday Jun 7, 2022
Time: 7:15 pm for a 7:30 pm start

[WAMUG} Christmas Present to you

[Maureen Smith]

IHello Fellow WAMUGgers,

On behalf of the Committee, I hope you all had a relaxing Christmas with family 
and friends and, if you are experiencing the heat, you can keep cool.

Did you know the 12 Days of Christmas actually starts on Christmas Day and 
lasts until the night of January 5th?  So if the Committee were to follow the 
song's list of gifts, we would be sending each of you today "Three French 
hens."   However, with Australia Post closed for four days, we though it a tad 
unwise to  attempt to post livestock.

But .. we do have a gift for you. We have decided to REDUCE our annual 
membership fee to $20:00.

At a recent Committee meeting, a reduction in fees was proposed.  COVID has 
seen the demise of the monthly General  ‘face to face’ meetings. Instead, we 
have continued using Zoom. Because we are not physically meeting, we no longer 
have to pay for third party insurance, the most significant annual expenditure. 
So the Committee decided to reduce membership fees.

Although anyone can join the list, only paid members can post queries and 
answers. WAMUG annual fees are payable from 1 January,  2022.

So next time you hear the 12 days of Christmas, instead of singing "Three 
French hens, " Change it to RE-DU-CED FEES. 

Cheers & keep safe.

February's Meeting

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

I know it is late notice but just to inform you that our first meeting of 2017 
will be running this Tuesday,  7:30 pm at office of Professional Prowest Real 
Estate, 175 High Road Willeton. We will be having a demonstration of the new 
Mac Book Pro. Ever wondered why you would need a Touch Bar, then pop on down 
and see. You may not be 

We will also be looking at an app called Duet Display that allows you to use 
your your iPad as a second monitor. We will be showing how simple it is to set 
up and what peripherals you will need to get going.

Hope to see you there,

Cheers,

Maureen Smith

Final Call - Subscription & AGM

Hello Wonderful WAMUGgers,

I hope you are having - or have had, depending on when you read this- a 
relaxing long weekend, with no demerits for driving and lots of fruit - 
especially apples.

Two reminders 

1   If you have been meaning to pay for your subscription but have just not 
got around to it yet, then it would be advisable to do so ASAP.

Thursday 10th March. 
Those who have paid their subscriptions will be able to post to the list and 
consequently receive advice particular to their problem. 
Members who have not subscribed will be able to receive list information but 
not request help or post other information to the list.

If for some reason you are unable to pay your subscription at this 
point, don’t panic. You can always pay at a later date.


2   I you were going to attend the upcoming AGM please make you payment 
ASAP as we need to confirm numbers. 
The AGM will be held next Sunday 13th March, 12:00pm at the  Mt Lawley Golf 
Club, 1/ Walter Road Western Australia 6052

Many thanks to all members who have paid and to those who are coming to the AGM 
& Lunch.

One more thing to think about - 

Wouldn’t it be so great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for 10 minutes
and come out wrinkle free and three sizes smaller?

Cheers,

Maureen

All members, and their loved ones (or your favourite enemy, provided you don’t 
fight), are invited to the combined WAMUG AGM and LUNCH.

Information

Date - Sunday 13th March 

Time  - 12:00pm 

Place - Mt Lawley Golf Club, 1/ Walter Road Western Australia 6052. 
(http://www.mlgc.org/cms/about-us/location/ 
<http://www.mlgc.org/cms/about-us/location/>)

Dress Code - “Smart Casual is accepted with dress shoes. ( Jeans and cargo 
pants, things, runners and T-shirts are not acceptable.)”

Cost - Members $21.00 Non members $31.00.


In order to confirm the number of people attending, it would be appreciated if

a) Payment be made by electronic transfer, as you have done when paying 
your memberships-

NAME  : Western Australian Macintosh Users Group
BSB : 306-075
ACCOUNT: 4197787
NB - Please quote your name in the reference area .

b) Please inform me via email that you are attending, and if bringing 
guests, how many.


Last year we had a similar format, and the opportunity to socialise, put names 
to faces, enjoy a good meal and not have to wash the dishes afterwards, was 
appreciated by those who attended. I am sure it will be the same this year.

As I mentioned in my email - Save the Date, Jan 24, - over the last few years 
we have battled to have sufficient members attending to comprise a quorum and 
without a quorum there is no meeting. 

The committee has been working on changes to our Constitution which will allow 
a reduction in the number of members required for an AGM and will allow for 
proxy voting on issues, so members who cannot attend AGMs and Special General 
Meetings can still have a say in the group’s decision making . Information 
concerning these changes will be emailed to members within the next three days. 
however, in  order for these changes to be voted upon, we need you to attend.

Any queries, please do not hesitate to enquire and remember - 


For want of a quorum the meeting was lost.  
For want of a meeting the committee was lost.
For want of a committee, the list was lost.
For want of the list, WAMUG was lost.
For want of WAMUG, apple users were lost.
For want of apple users, the world was lost.
All for the want of a quorum.

Cheers,

Save the Date

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Wonderful WAMUGgers,

Your committee held it’s first meeting for the year and on the agenda was the 
Annual AGM. 

Those who have been members for a number of years will be aware that the last 
few years we have battled to have sufficient members attending to comprise a 
quorum. There are a number of factors both personal and organisational that no 
doubt contribute to the decline in numbers.

The committee has been working on addressing this issue but it is a bit of a 
Catch 22. We need to have people attend the AGM in order to change the 
attendance requirements in our Constitution. 

This year the AGM will be held on Sunday 13th March at 12:00pm at a location 
TBA. It will be a combination of the AGM  followed by a chance to socialise 
over a meal. Loved ones are also welcome.

Please take the time to place this date in your iCal. We really need you!

More information will be coming out via the list.


Cheers,

Maureen

Annual Member Fee Payment

[Maureen Smith]

Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

Headlines Just In!

Road Rage is on the increase after a few quiet weeks! 

AM & PM peak hours are becoming fuller! 

Publicity for upcoming television programmes are on the increase!

Hot Cross Buns are now on sale!

These are headlines are indications that the festive season is well and truly 
over and we can now tackle those 2016 goals and aspirations. 

Hopefully, one of your goals is to continue your subscription to this wonderful 
list.

The subscription runs from its January - 31 December each year and costs 
$30.00. 

BENEFITS

A paid subscription allows you to receive the list, and post requests and 
information. I am sure you will agree $30.00 is far less expensive than a visit 
from your neighbourhood IT consultant, and a lot less time consuming than a 
trip to the Genius Bar. 

PAYMENT

There is a grace period of two months for you to make you payment, but we do 
have to ‘moderate' the list by the end of February. This means the wand is 
waved and those who have not subscribed are deemed ‘moderated’ and unable to 
post to the list. 

You can pay by pay by electronic transfer or post a cheque.
ELECTRONIC TRANSFER:-

NAME : Western Australian Macintosh Users Group
BSB   : 306-075
Account  : 4197787

Please quote your name in the reference area;

CHEQUE:-

Please make the cheque payable to the “Western Australian Macintosh Users 
Group” and post to:

WAMUG Treasurer
C/- PO Box 1204
CANNING VALE DC  WA 6970.


REMITTANCE ADVICE

Please email a copy of the remittance advice to <members...@wamug.org.au>  This 
assists us in identifying and confirming your payment and helps speed up the 
process. This can be very beneficial if you urgently need to post to the list.


THANK- YOU

A big thank-you to those wonderfully organised members who have already paid 
their dues. 

If you have any queries don’t hesitate to send an email to 
<members...@wamug.org.au> and  we will get back to you as soon as we can.


Cheers to everyone and a little something found on the net to put a smile on 
your face.

Christmas wishes

[Maureen Smith]

Happy Christmas

To all wonderful WAMUGgers,

On behalf of your committee, I wish you all a happy and joyful Christmas and a 
relaxing break. 

Just remember throughout this festive season, it is important to maintain a 
balanced diet that includes healthy amounts of fruit, especially Apple.

Best wishes to all,

Maureen Smith

Tuesday's Meeting

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

The winter solstice has passed and we can now look forward to the  balmier 
nights and days of Spring. According to my iPhone weather app, Tuesday will be 
partly cloudy with a maximum of 18  a mimimum,of 7. With no predicted rain, 
hail or snow, hopefully you will be able to make it to our monthly meeting.

This month is ”PDF month” with our topics chosen ‘just because’. We will be 
looking at Flip PDF - changing your PDF documents into stunning booklets. Could 
be just the thing to save your child’s art work rather than cluttering up the 
fridge. We will also examine PDF to Keynote for mac - if you want to have the 
said art work as a keynote presentation to run in the background at their 21st 
- and we will have quick look at using Preview to make memes.

There will be a few other tips  tricks to be shown - some you may know some 
hopefully new,

Looking forward to seeing as many as you as possible .



Cheers,

Re: AGM today

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Denise,

Thank-you for you email. I know what yo mean when you say “Life is very busy.” 
Thank you for your courtesy in sending your apology.

Membership subscription

Here is a cut  paste form the website - and I agree with you it does need some 
upgrading but it’s the problem of finding time  expertise. 

NB It may be better to copy  paste the members...@wamug.org.au 
mailto:members...@wamug.org.au into a separate email. I don’t thing the one 
in the cut  past bit is live.

If your bank does not allow you to put your name in the reference area just 
explain who you are in the email.

Hope this helps and that soon things slow down for you.

Cheers,

Maureen

 Good morning Maureen
 I have replied earlier, to say that I would be coming to the AGM today at 
 12.30 but I'm afraid I will need to send my apologies instead.  Life is very 
 busy for me ATM and other things have come up. I would really liked to have 
 come  shown my support for all you wonderful people.  But can I suggest that 
 if you need an extra vote on anything, then I'm happy to vote over the 
 phone!!My number is 0417184592.
 I also received a message from someone else at WAMUG that my $30 subscription 
 didn't go through, 2 weeks ago.   It is not showing up on my banking so that 
 will be correct - I have been unable to pay.  I just tried again but the bank 
 won't allow me to use the Acct name as it's too long.  And unfortunately I 
 deleted a heap of emails this morning, one of which I think, was explaining 
 how to pay more easily. I have always found it difficult to make WAMUG 
 payments!!   Seems the web page is in need of an overhaul - wish I could help 
 but don't have these skills.
 Sincere apologies again
 Hope the meeting goes well.
 Kind Regards

Membership Information

[Maureen Smith]

Hello  WAMUGgers,

Last Thursday, 5th March little ticks were added or removed from little boxes 
in the software that runs our mailing list. (Are some of you remembering the 
Pete Seeger’s hit of the 60’s)

Most people who receive the list would be blissfully unaware that anything had 
happened.

However, if you post to the list and receive an automated message something 
like -Your mail …  is being held until the list moderator can review it for 
approval it usually means you are not a financial member.  

Although financial membership runs for the calendar year from 1 January to 31 
December we accept membership throughout the year. Information is available on 
our website under the tab Join. 

I am sure those of you who have paid their membership will agree that $30.00 is 
very cheap for the advice and help that is given.

Again, thank you to all members who contribute to make this organisation a 
success

Cheers,

Maureen

AGM - RSVP

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

Rushing off an email before work.

A big thank you  to the members who have sent their RSVPs for the AGM.  We are 
still  8 members short of a quorum. So if you are intending to come and haven’t 
replied would you please email me off list - this time I’ll give you the 
correct address. Hee! Hee!

Please, please, not only does the committee need you support but ultimately, 
WAMUG as an organisation needs your support.

Cheers,

Maureen

Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

Just reminder to RSVP if you are coming to the AGM on Sunday. We are still way

MEETING CHANGE

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

Just a reminder that our usual first Tuesday of the month meeting WILL NOT be 
held this month. i.e. Tuesday 3rd March. Traditionally we would hold the AGM 
during that meeting.

This year we will hold the AGM on Sunday March 8th at the Dome Cafe, 879 Albany 
Highway East Victoria Park at 12:30 pm.

Hope to see many of you there.

Cheers,

Maureen

Committee News

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Wonderful WAMUGgers,

Please take the time to read this ‘bulletin.’ Below are three items of 
importance that concern us all.


1   FINALISING MEMBERSHIP

Thank you to all the members who have paid their dues.  Financial membership of 
WAMUG allows members to post queries to the list and to receive advice and 
information.  Your $30 subscription runs for the calendar year from 1 January 
to 31 December.  We are now in the third month of this year and it is time to 
review the membership list to ensure that paid-up members have the privileges 
they are entitled to.  If you have already paid your membership you have 
nothing to worry about.  Everything is 'hunky-dory.’

If you are reading this, or you know of somebody who wishes to avail themselves 
of expert advice and list camaraderie, please ensure that the $30 membership is 
finalised by Thursday, 5 March.  Extra details are our website.

Again, thanks to all those who have already supported a wonderful organisation.

2   AGM

Many of you will be aware that over the last few years we have struggled to get 
a quorum at out AGM.   According to our constitution we require 20% of our 
membership or 15 members ( whichever is less) to be present at the AGM if it is 
to be viable.  The actual AGM only takes about 10 minutes and includes a 
summary from the committee, the election of office bearers and the Treasurer’s 
report.

This year we are trying something new in the hope that it will allow more 
members to attend.  Our AGM will be held at the Dome Cafe,  897 Albany Highway 
East Victoria Park at 12:30 PM on Sunday 8th March. After the AGM part, we 
invite  you will stay, order some lunch, chat  socialise.

This is another chance to match faces to list names.  Family members and 
significant others are welcome to attend but only paid up members can vote at 
the AGM.

So give yourself a break from the Sunday roast and come, socialise and vote.

In order to provide Dome with the number of attendees, please email me off list 
if you intend to come and if appropriate how many will be accompanying you.  It 
would be appreciated if this information can be given by 6 PM on Thursday, 5 
March.


3   COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP

A few weeks back we called for nominations for committee membership.  Again, I 
ask if any person would be willing to join the committee and assist in 
furthering the aims of WAMUG. It would be great to have some ‘new blood.’ 

The current committee of Peter Hinchlife, Peter Botman, Peter Smith, Daniel 
Kerr, Bernard Barnwell and yours truly, have all nominated for 2015.  However, 
another one or two members would help share the load and we would feel less 
guilty when we have to miss meetings or need time off. 

If you would like to give something back to WAMUG being on the committee could 
be for you. it is not an onerous responsibility and as the old adage goes  
“Many hands make light work.”  If you have any queries about this feel free to 
email me off list.


Once again, thank you for all your interest and support. WAMUG only exists 
because you the members contribute and so willingly share your interests and 
knowledge.
Hope to see many of you at the AGM.

Cheers everyone,

Oops! Sorry folks. I wasn’t using a pre Gregorian calendar. I confused the 11th

 Hello WWW’s,
 
 Your committee recently had its first meeting for 2015. We were all still 
 coming out of holiday mode so it was a bit of a jolt to the “little grey 
 cells.” Hee! Hee! 
 
 Some information for you from the meeting
 
 WAMUG AGM
 
 Forrest Gump once said “The really good thing about meeting the President 
 of the United States is the food.” Well, we cannot guarantee you will 
 meet the President of the United States but we can guarantee you a 
 meeting followed by food.
 
 This year our all important WAMUG AGM will be held during the day, on 
 Sunday 11th March at a venue yet to be announced. (there will be no 
 regular meeting that month)
 
 We will hold a short AGM - no presentations, just the formal activities. 
 ( i.e Report of the Committee and the Financial Statements, the election 
 of the Officers and the Committee) and then adjourn for lunch and social 
 gathering. A number of members were disappointed they could not attend 
 our 30th lunch last year. Hopefully you will be able to make it this time.
 
 It is essential that we have the required number of financial members 
 physically present at the AGM, so mark this occasion in your iCal, on the 
 fridge, or tie a piece of string around your finger, whatever works for 
 you and keep this date free. 
 
 Committee Members
 
 We are always looking for committee members. You do not have to be an 
 expert with a mac - I’m certainly not. The more committee members we 
 have, the more the work can be shared. Even if you can only attend some 
 of the meetings that is ok. It would be lovely to have some ‘fresh blood’ 
 (and no that was not a vampire’s pick up line!) So please consider 
 becoming involved in this 'band of brothers’ + one sister. 
 
 February’s Meeting
 
 Our first meeting for this year will be held on Tuesday, 3 February 2015 
 in the Professional Prowest Real Estate building, 175 High Road Willeton, 
 at 7:30 pm
 
 This month’s meeting will be a Mac talkfest - featuring all things Siri 
 and the use of Mac’s dictation. So bring along your iPads  iPhones and 
 ‘Avago mate!’
 
 Cheers to everyone  remain cool over the next few days.

 This year there will be a slight change to the procedures. Basically, a 
 new address to email the copy of your remittance advice should you pay via 
 electronic transfer.
 This is to ensure a speedier enrolment of members, as in the past there 
 has sometime been delays between payments  finalising memberships. 
 
 So…… if members could hold off paying any renewals until the new address 
 is sorted it would be greatly appreciated. 
 
 You will be notified via this list and the information will be put on the

Annual Subscription

[Maureen Smith]

Hello fellow WAMUGGERS,

I hope you all had a relaxing and peaceful Christmas and New Year. 
It is great to see some members already organising their annual subscription 
payments. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support.

This year there will be a slight change to the procedures. Basically, a new 
address to email the copy of your remittance advice should you pay via 
electronic transfer.
This is to ensure a speedier enrolment of members, as in the past there has 
sometime been delays between payments  finalising memberships. 

So…… if members could hold off paying any renewals until the new address is

Committee Notice

[Maureen Smith]

Hellos Fellow Wamuggers,

Final Meeting

I was at the hairdressers the other day chatting away to the young lady doing 
my hair  the topic of Wikipedia came up. She casually mentioned “Of course you 
can’t trust Wikipedia, anyone can change anything.” 
It was at that point I started to tell her some of the facts behind Wikipedia, 
having been privileged to hear a talk given by Gideon Digby earlier this year. 

If you have any bias for or against, or just want to hear the behind the scenes 
information on this cultural phenomena come to our meeting this Tuesday. 

Not only will Gideon be talking about Wikipedia but will also talk about the 
WIkimedia Foundation, the non-profit and charitable organisation that operates 
many wikis. of which Wikipedia is just one.

So, set your recorders and/or computers to tape your favourite television 
programmes, leave the washing up to someone else and head on down to the last 
WAMUG meeting for this year. Details on our website.


End of Year Get Together

In the past, the WAMUG Committee has hosted a barbecue for members on a Sunday 
in December. At our last meeting we decided NOT to host the event this year as 
over the past few years the numbers have drastically declined, for a wide 
variety of reasons. 

If we have misjudged the situation, after all we are only human,(to date none 
of us has been bitten by a genetically modified spider, or in fact any 
genetically modified species) please email the list and if there is sufficient 
demand we can organise something.

Cheers, everyone and I hope to see you at this Tuesday’s meeting

WAMUG 30th - Memories

[Maureen Smith]

Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

Earlier I posted some members ‘memories’ of their inception into, “the 
never-ending battle for Truth Justice and the Apple way” (apologies to 
Superman).

Ronni, a stalwart and life member of our organisation emailed me a copy of the 
speech she gave when being awarded her Life Membership. In her speech she 
explains how she came to join WAMUG and how strongly she believes in WAMUG’s 
principles since joining and why she is so willing to give help. She has given 
permission to post  this speech to the list.

As we celebrate, this our 30th year, I find it inspiring that within our 
organisation we have such a variety of members ranging from those with such 
wealth of experience as Ronni, Peter H and Daniel, as well as members who have 
just bought thier first Apple product and everyone in-between. I hope we 
continue to support each other and encourage others into the fold.

Go WAMUG!!

Cheers,

Maureen

WAMUG ‘Honorary Life Membership' Award speech

I am honoured to receive this award. 
It is unbelievable and something I will treasure forever.

I am humbled; as I am just one of a team of extremely talented people, who give 
so much of their knowledge, their experience, their professional advice and 
their time.

I am proud; to not only be a member, but to have provided assistance to other 
members.

Back years ago, when I first started using a Mac computer. I experienced a 
problem with an external burner I had purchased. It took me some time to get 
enough courage to post a message asking for help.

A person responded to my 'plea for help' by typing the letters RTFM!
At that time I didn't know what RTFM meant.
I eventually corrected the fault myself and did find out what the letters RTFM 
meant.
Consequently, I did not post a message asking for help again!

What I did do, was start researching everything I could find out about 
Macintosh Computers and how they work. I purchased so many books, subscribed to 
so many Mac magazines, downloaded so much information from the Internet. 
I soaked up every bit of information I could. 
I took my first Mac apart and put it back together again and was surprised it 
still worked!

I've had good mentors along this journey of learning, who have taught me many 
things.

Eventually my journey brought me to WAMUG!

I have strongly believed in WAMUG's principles and work since joining many 
years ago. And I have tried to give help and encouragement to people wanting to 
get the best possible results from their Apple Mac experience.

I don't expect accolades for helping people. Helping people gives me a good 
feeling.
We all experience problems at some time and need help. 
If we can help each other, that is what we do  It's The Mac Way!

So In Conclusion: To be recognised in this way for my work is very gratifying.
It's a great feeling to be appreciated.
And I thank you for it.
Thank You!

WAMUG 30th - Memories

[Maureen Smith]

Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

As we are celebrating 30 years of WAMUG I though it might be interesting to 
share what memories we have of all things Macintosh /Apple and beyond.

Earlier this month, Severin Crisp wrote to me of his experiences 40 + years 
with computers and his association with Apple . It makes for a very interesting 
read.
He has given permission to share it to the list. 

I am sure others have had lengthy and/or interesting associations with Apple. 
It would be great to hear your memories.

Cheers,

Maureen

Severin Crips’ Email
   
My introduction to computing was on a Bendix G15 at National Research Council 
of Canada in Ottawa where I was a PostDoctoral fellow from 1960.  It was a 
single user machine on which you booked time and it had paper tape input and 
typewriter output and had a regular maintenance outage for one hour every 
morning!   Shortly before we left Canada in 1964 (plus two sons who had 
materialised in our time there) the division acquired a new machine, still 
paper tape input but which ran Fortran, to which then I was introduced.  Back 
in Physics at UWA an IBM 1620 card machine had been acquired and was a huge 
advance.   Still single user for which you could book time but many jobs run by 
the Computing Centre staff as batches.  I remember almost wheelbarrow loads of 
boxes of cards!   Then a DEC10 time sharing machine appeared, a huge step 
forward in speed and capability including direct talk to the computer from a 
terminal! and the announcement that this would satisfy the University’s 
computing needs for at least the next 5 years. In 6 months it was up to 
saturation and the CDC Cyber machines, extensive mainframes with card readers, 
magtape drives, line printers  and the works all running principally batch  
more or less took over.  A later DEC machine ran as an adjunct, usable from 
remote terminals around campus for direct input/output, a foreshadowing of 
desktop machines.  

The PCs started to appear, both IBM and others and Physics elected to go Mac, a 
brilliant choice as far as I was concerned!  Machines proliferated through 
teaching and research, I had a DEC PDP-8(?) controlling my X-ray spectrometer 
and collecting data and communication directly with a Mac in my office.  For 
home I bought one of the first 128K bundles, with a dot matrix printer and a 
carrying case, around $2000 from memory.  It was subsequently upgraded to a 
MacPlus with a massive 4MB of memory and used as office computer in my wife’s 
art gallery. On my desk at work I had stepped up to an SE 30, a real speed 
machine, and progressed through a series of upgradings until my retirement in 
mid 1964 at which time we moved to Albany and I purchased a PowerMac which 
since then has progressed though a series of necessary(??!) indulgences to my 
current 21.5inch iMac, which cost a similar amount to that first 128k Mac.  

In my time at NRC in Ottawa and in Physics at UWA there was always expert 
advice and comment for problems immediately to hand, usually from someone just 
a door or two down the corridor or at the help desk in the Computing Centre, a 
vital thing when unravelling Fortran puzzles!  In Albany that was not similarly 
available and at some stage I discovered WAMUG on who/which I have relied 
heavily every since.   So many times a seemingly hopeless impasse has been 
resolved by an exert input, I know my experience mirrors that of many others.  
Notably Ronni and Daniel have pointed me in the right direction many, many 
times as have so many other members.  Much information sits in the archives to 
be unearthed; I admit to laziness and just reask the question.  I cannot speak 
too highly of the benefits I have had from my WAMUG membership, my $30 annual 
fee is trivial for the return I get, not only from direct answers and speedy 
resolution with no time wasted when problems arise, but from general learning 
from  seeing solutions emerge from other member’s dilemmas and generally about 
things Mac.  

My one regret is that I have never attended a WAMUG meeting nor have I met any 
members (other than Neil Houghton who lives nearby) face to face; I am a true 
member in absentia.   Advancing years, which see us both in our 80s, make trips 
to Perth rare and become a serious physical effort.  Sadly I will not be able 
to join with you all on August 10th for the celebration.  The WAMUG committee, 
who keep the show going the way itv does, deserve at least an Order of 
MacStralia in the next honours awards, without them there would be nothing.  

I will be there with you in spirit,  “Floreat WAMUG!”.-- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List --

Committee Notice

[Maureen Smith]

Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

Here is this month’s update in most things WAMUG.

August Meeting

There will be a change of venue for our next meeting. This is because our 
normal meeting venue will be unavailable during August. The meeting, on Tuesday 
5 August, will be held at Collier Village, 11 Morrison Road Como. Closer to the 
event, we will give more specific details on the location as the village is a 
large complex.

At this meeting there will be a demonstration of the new LaCie Fuel Wireless 
Drive. 

This is a drive that allows you to 
Expand your iPad capacity without cables 
Share files with 5 devices at once
Play media on devices via mobile app
Stream to Apple TV and AirPlay devices
It is portable and very light which makes it a great asset for travellers. No 
need to worry about running out of storage for those holiday snaps or how to 
keep the ankle biters amused while you check on your WAMUG emails.

We will also be looking at an iPhone Bluetooth handset that allows you to talk 
while checking your iPhone calendar, maps, etc, as well as ensuring your iPhone 
does not get lost under the paperwork on your desk.

In the software department there will be a demonstration of SheepShaver. No, 
this has nothing to do with shearing sheep! It is software designed to emulate 
older Mac operating systems. So, if you have a program that you can no longer 
use because of advances in Apple’s operating systems, this may be the answer 

Finally we will be looking at how to make the best of your iBook app on your 
iPhone or iPad.

WAMUG 30th Celebration.

If you are intending to come remember, confirmation and payment need to be made 
by Wednesday August 6th. Payment can be made by electronic transfer, cheque or 
you can pay when you attend August’s meeting.

Lets do Lunch - WAMUG 30th Celebrations

[Maureen Smith]

Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

Well did anyone spot the deliberate mistake???  Let’s do Lunch - WAMUG 50th 
Celebrations. For those of you who were on the ball and very kindly did not 
expose my errors via the list - yes it should have read “WAMUG 30th 
Celebration.”  

So, hopefully that has not put you off and you are planning to come to lunch. 

Rather than scroll though your emails the details are listed below.

The celebration will take the form of a meet, greet  eat (otherwise know as 
‘doing lunch’). This will give us a chance to match faces with online names and 
get to know each other, beyond just what we know from our forays onto the list, 
and generally celebrate 50 years of WAMUG.

You are welcome to bring spouses, partners, children,mates and the odd Klingon 

Let’s Do Lunch 

Date:   Sunday 10th August
Time:  12:00 for 12:30pm
Where:Burswood Atrium
Cost:   Members $25:00   Non-members $45:00

Let's do Lunch - WAMUG 50th Celebrations

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Fellow Wamuggers,

To paraphrase Orson Wells: -

Ask not what you can do for WAMUG. Ask what's for lunch.

In my last epistle I informed you of the upcoming WAMUG 50th Celebration. At 
the last Committee meeting the details were finalised.

The celebration will take the form of a meet, greet  eat (otherwise know as 
‘doing lunch’). This will give us a chance to match faces with online names and 
get to know each other, beyond just what we know from our forays onto the list, 
and generally celebrate 50 years of WAMUG.

Committee News

[Maureen Smith]

Hello fellow WAMUGers,

This email is a little later than expected but as they say, “Better late than 
never”.

Celebrate Apple’s 30th year

Put it in you iCal Now! 

Sunday August 20th is the date for the WAMUG's Celebration of Apple’s 30th 
Year.”  (Yes it is a rather long title but is still shorter than “A time to 
celebrate Apples 30th year with with a social function, a chance for members to 
get together and put faces to those names and email addresses.”) The function 
is not solely for WAMUG members but also their families and friends.

Date - Sunday 10th August.
Time - 12:00 for a 12:30 Lunch.
Where - Burswood Atrium  

Further details will be sent out after the next committee meeting. 

We realise ,whatever date we choose, some of you will be unable to come due to 
other commitments. However, we would love to have as many as possible attend. 
It is a good opportunity to meet and greet in 'real time' and extend our 
friendship beyond the list.

Monthly Meeting

We held our second meeting at the The Professional Prowest Real Estate in High 
Road, Willeton and things ran even smoother than the last time, with everyone 
chipping in to set up  pack up. We were all done and dusted by 9:30 and had  
no long walk to our parked cars. The tea, coffee  biscuits time and allowed 
for lots of conversation and show  tells as well as convivial chatter.

Peter Hinchliffe shared his expertise on the topics of “Using the Dock More 
Effectively  Tips  Tricks When using Spotlight. He also gave an impromptu 
summary of the WWD conference having watched it live the morning before. (And 
people say only teenagers can do late nights!!!)  Peter Botam took the time to 
show us how you can use Preview to modify  fill in those pesky Government 
forms that frequently have glitches in them, and don’t allow you to save them, 
and don’t have boxes big enough to fill in all the details , and leave 
essential information out etc etc. I think you get my drift.

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday July 1st. You will be informed as to what 
will be included closer to the date. 

So, in the words of a favourite grunter, Th-th-th-that's all folks!”

Cheers, everyone,

Maureen Smith

Final Reminder - Monthly Meeting

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Again WAMUGers,

This is a final reminder of the upcoming monthly meeting. Next month’s reminder 
will be sent out by the inimitable Peter Smith whose sense of humour is quicker

Committee News

[Maureen Smith]

Hello fellow WAMUGers

This email is to let you know of some things that were discussed at the recent 
Committee meeting.

Change of Venue

Firstly, we have a change of meeting venue starting with our meeting on May 6. 
For a few years now we have had the use of Future Sphere at Christ Church 
Grammar School in Claremont. Although these facilities were state-of-the-art, 
the location, school changes to the layout and function of the building  plus 
timing restrictions (we had to be out by 9 pm or alarms started ringing and 
beefy security men would arrive at the door) contributed to a steady decline in 
attendance. Consequently, the committee has been searching for for an 
alternative meeting place that fulfils our requirements and whose cost won't 
break the bank”. Perhaps in the the spirit of full disclosure ii should mention 
at this point the there actually never were any beefy security guards, just 
once the caretaker arrived when yours truly incorrectly  set the security 
code.!!!


We have been very fortunate in obtaining a large office space in High Road, 
Willeton, thanks to the generosity of the Professional Prowest Real Estate. 
This new venue is easier to get to, no parking hassles and there is no need for 
us to have to vacate the premises by 9pm of an evening. This being the case we 
have returned to a meeting start time of 7:30 pm, which should make it easier 
for all of us to get home from work, have something to eat and then make the 
meeting.

So we look forward to starting afresh with our meetings and hope to see a 
number of you attending.  Further details will be posted next week  on our 
website.

Survey Results

Secondly, and possibly the news you have been waiting for, we had a look at the 
results of our recent survey. Thank you very much to the 62 members who 
replied. Taking those few minutes to answer the questions has given the 
Committee a broad overview of the location of our members. 

Over 90% of those who replied lived within the metropolitan area, and for the 
sake of this survey that included postcodes within 30 km of the Perth CBD. 
These members were distributed fairly evenly north and south of the river. 

The rest resided in the country with the majority in Western Australia, 1 in 
New South Wales and 2 in Tasmania.


Celebrate Apple’s 50th year.

Finally, if you have not been aware 2014 marks Apple’s 50th year.  We thought 
we would like to celebrate this anniversary with a social function, a chance 
for members to get together and put faces to those names and email addresses. 
Although there is still more planning to be down we have tentatively decided to 
have lunch at the Burswood on a weekend in August. More information will be 
coming out after the next committee meeting, but for now keep it in the back of 
your mind.

Many thanks for your support,

The previous meal concerning Tuesday’s Meeting was meant for Committee members

Committee Notice - Survey

[Maureen Smith]

Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

This is a big   thank you  to the 44 list members who have responded to the 
survey sent out last Wednesday. 

There is still a chance to complete WAMUG’s shortest survey and gain the 
satisfaction that comes from crossing another task off your to do list.


Remember it is  completely anonymous and comprises only 2 ‘answers’. Are you 
financial member, and your postcode. 

Please go to  https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8GCHLXZ and fill in your 
answers. 
The survey will stay open until the wee hours of Sunday morning and can be 
taken by any list member, financial and non financial members.

Kind regards,

Maureen Smith

Committee Notice

[Maureen Smith]

Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

Just two pieces of information for your perusal.

1.  At the recent committee meeting it was decided to forgo our usual 
monthly meeting for this coming April. We haven’t abandoned idea of the 
meetings we just need a short breather. In May we will resume the monthly 
meetings at a new location and time.  More on that in the future.

2.  In order to help us help you we would like to get a ‘feel’ of the 
location of our members. We know, for instance, that there is a strong 
contingent of members in the Albany region but we are not really aware of where 
other members hail from. We may only have half a dozen metropolitan members and 
the rest are in the country!!   If we have most of our members living south of 
the river then organising an event in Joondalup is not likely to be successful 
!!

In order to find out this information would you please take a minuscule amount 
of time to complete possibly the shortest survey ever. It is completely 
anonymous and comprises only 2 ‘answers’. Are you financial member, and your 
postcode. 

Please go to  https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8GCHLXZ and fill in your 
answers. 

We will keep the survey open for 10 days

Many thanks,

Maureen Smith

AGM news

[Maureen Smith]

Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

Well we made it through our second attempt at the AGM and I sincerely thank 
those members who battled parking and did some cross county walking in order to 
attend.  (Okay, so it was only across the oval but it was getting dark!!! ) The 
committee members of 2013  were all willing to stand again and were re-elected. 
Peter Hinchliffe, although remaining on the committee, has taken a well earned 
rest as our President. 

Peter has been President of WAMUG for as long as I have been a member (4 years) 
and I am not sure for how many more years before that, and I understand, has 
been a part of WAMUG since its inception. I would like to thank Peter, as I am 
sure all of us would, for the work he has done as President and will continue 
to do for WAMUG. As I said earlier, Peter will still be a member of the 
committee and an active member of the List, which is really fabulous because as 
the newly elected President I am going to be calling on his expertise from time 
to time. [Didn’t notice that on my life plan.] 

Your 2014 Committee is (not in any particular order)

Maureen Smith 
Peter Hinchliffe
Peter Botman
Peter Smith
Bernard Barnwell
Daniel Kerr

Once again, thank you to those who turned up at AGM / Take 1  AGM / Take 2 and 
to those who turned up to both and thank you for your thoughts and suggestions 
on improving WAMUG.

Cheers,

AGM - Round 2

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Wamuggers,

Just a reminder that our 2nd attempt for an AGM will take place this Tuesday. 
This meeting will only comprise all the ‘official stuff’ so should be over in 
less than an hour.

The meeting will be held at Christ Church Grammar School, Queenslea Drive 
Claremont and starts at 7:00pm.

Location Map
If you log into ,http://www.ccgs.wa.edu.au/ccgs-world-page/campus-map you 
will see a Google map of the location of Christ Church Grammar as well as a map 
of the campus. (Click on both to enlarge)


Parking
Parking can sometimes be a bit of a problem if there is a function at the 
College, so if there is no parking along Queenslea Drive use the College 
parking closer to Stirling Highway.  
Use this link to see what I mean. 
http://www.wamug.org.au/wp-content/uploads/FutureSphere-Parking-01.tiff

Hopefully, we will see you there

Re: Henry V the AGM

[Maureen Smith]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my impassioned??? speech.  

The committee realises that no matter what night is chosen for a meeting some 
people who want to attend just cannot because of prior commitments like yours. 
Certainly 21st century life is full of a myriad of choices that the Englishmen 
at the Battle of Agincourt did not have and I for one am very happy to be 
living now with its complications rather than in 1415.

Once again, thank you for your response.

Cheers,

Maureen Smith

 Hello Maureen,
 
 As much as I'd like to attend, due to a commitment I have to coach a sporting

 tried to attend last night but through Daniel found out that my attendance 
 wouldn't push numbers over the quorum. WAMUG membership has been a huge 
 benefit to me over the years and I am an ardent disciple, but it seems that 
 my acolytes have been remiss in ensuring that the Mac users did not get to

 According to our Constitution, at that meeting the business i.e election of 
 committee  office bearers, the treasurer’s report, etc, can take place. 
 This means it will be a shorter meeting then usual as there will be no

Re: Henry V the AGM

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Nathalie,

Thanks for your thoughts and the time taken to respond.  As a committee we have 
been acutely aware of the difficulties associated with synchronous meetings and 
what you have said would certainly ring true for some of our members. We 
definitely have a strong online arm of WAMUG ,i.e. the List, and I know that 
committee has discussed, on a number of occasions, ways of expanding and 
improving our online services. 

Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how indiviuals see it, since WAMUG 
is an incorporated organisation we are subject to certain legalities, rules and 
regulations. Among them, is the requirement to have office bearers, a committee 
and an AGM regardless of whether we have physical meetings, chatrooms, Skype 
each other, or just use the List.  That was the reason for e-mail to the List 
and the plea for more committee members.

Once again, thank you for your comments, your interest and your support. It is 
appreciated.

Cheers,

Maureen Smith

 Hi All:
 
 I love Shakespeare, so this post really engaged me. I attended one of last 
 year’s meetings and made an effort to go to show my appreciation for the work 
 the committee does in maintaining the list.
 
 I commented the following to the in-person group then, but would like to 
 present my POV to the wider group on this subject.
 
 Synchronous meet-ups are problematic, and getting to be more so when so much 
 value can be delivered in an asynchronous way. On one hand it is about other 
 commitments; on the other it is about giving people a reason to meet up in 
 person by delivering something they want but cannot get on the list. I asked 
 the group to articulate what they thought the value of the meet-ups would be, 
 and they said things like comaraderie, learning, support and so on. 
 
 I went home and thought about it, and realised I get all of those things from 
 the list itself. People on this list have supported me in times of dire need 
 (Hello Ronni!) without us being in the same country, much less in the same 
 town or space.
 
 I am guessing that for some of us meeting in person is something we do when 
 there is a compelling reason to. Although some of the items on the meeting 
 list will be very important to some people, none resonate with what I happen 
 to be doing on my Mac.
 
 However, if there were specific jobs that people in the WAMUG community can 
 take on in an synchronous way to make the list and online community better, I 
 believe that there would be support from all the locations that people hail 
 from on this list. The appeal of a more traditional support structure (office 
 bearers, in person meet ups) is something that doesn’t have as much value to 
 me in terms of time spent as much as being able to toil away in the wee hours 
 of the morning (or night) knowing that my efforts are supporting the group, 
 and the people who do want to meet up, as a whole.
 
 
 Regards,
 Nathalie

commit for another year but we do need more support. We have some great ideas 
for improving the services of WAMUG but lack the time to do it all ourselves, 
and keep a balanced life. New committee members result in new ideas, fresh 
approaches and different outlooks, and that is what will keep WAMUG vital and 
ongoing. Please, spend some time over the next few days and consider becoming a 
committee member. 

As I said in my previous email, even a 12month commitment can make a big 
difference. If you cannot attend next week’s meeting please consider emailing a 
committee member and letting us know if you are interested in joining this 
happy few”.

 The addresses of the current members are: -  

Peter Hinchcliffe –hinch...@multiline.com.au

Peter Botham - pe...@civiltech.com.au

Peter Smith – smudd...@internode.on.net   

Bernard Barnwell – barnw...@iinet.net.au

Daniel Kerr - wa...@macwizardry.com.au

Henry VMaureen Smith – topsm...@internode.on.net

 

To end my plea I again misquote the bard,

 “….. yet all shall be forgot,

But WAMUGgers remember with advantage

What feats their committee did that year.”

Re: IMPORTANT!! WAMUG Annual General Meeting

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

In response to Peter Hinchcliffe’s AGM notice I too urge all members that are 
in Perth to consider attending the AGM.  Not that I have anything against our 
country members but I do realise the journey might be a bit long.   It is 
during this AGM that the Report of the Committee and the Financial Statements 
is given and, most importantly, the election of the Officers and the Committee. 
 A committee needless to say, is vital to the future of WAMUG.

I have been a member of WAMUG since 2010 when I made the transition from 
Windows to Macs.  I have attended virtually all the meetings since then and 
have always come away with some information, an answer to a question or a 
product which I have later included in my personal arsenal of software. 

About two years ago I tentatively put up my hand to be a member of the 
Committee because I valued the meetings and wanted them to continue.  I say 
tentatively, because compared to the knowledge of Peter H, Ronnie, Daniel and 
others, I am a mere private in the “WAMUG army”. However, it is a decision I do 
not regret. 

Although I may lack huge expertise in all things Apple - actually extend that 
to all things ‘computerish’ - I found out I did have things to offer, just as 
we all have.  Being a teacher-librarian I have no problem in presenting to a 
group so I have on occasion given demonstrations at the meetings.  Your 
expertise might be in organisation, or a particular software package. Maybe you 
are great at secretarial stuff and would be happy to take minutes at a meeting, 
or you have a video and would be willing to video  edit a meeting. Whatever 
your gifts consider becoming committee member.

 The more committee members we have the more support we can give to you, our 
members and to ourselves. Perhaps consider joining for just this year. 
Certainly no one is expecting a lifetime commitment but as the proverb states 
“Many hands make light work.”

Cheers to  everyone,

Maureen Smith

Re: IMPORTANT!! WAMUG Annual General Meeting

[Maureen Smith]

Hello Joy,

The next meeting will be held at Christ Church Grammar School, Queenslea Drive 
Claremont. The meeting starts at 7:00pm and we are all done  dusted by 9:00pm, 
and that includes a break for coffee/tea.

We charge $5.00 per person per meeting to help offset the cost of public 
liability insurance - a mandatory retirement - and room hire etc.

Location Map
If you log into ,http://www.ccgs.wa.edu.au/ccgs-world-page/campus-map you 
will see a Google map of the location of Christ Church Grammar as well as a map 
of the campus. (Click on both to enlarge)

On the campus map, The FutureSphere is building L in the middle along Queenslea 
Drive [Grid ref: G9]. It is upstairs.

Parking
Parking can sometimes be a bit of a problem if there is a function at the 
College, so if there is no parking along Queenslea Drive use the College 
parking closer to Stirling Highway.  
Use this link to see what I mean. 
http://www.wamug.org.au/wp-content/uploads/FutureSphere-Parking-01.tiff

Hopefully, we will see you there.

Cheers,

Maureen Smith

 This is a reminder to everyone that the meeting of Tuesday 4th March is the 
 WAMUG Annual General Meeting. It is very important that we have at least 15 
 people attend this meeting, in order to prevent the situation which arose 
 last year when we failed to get a quorum. 
 
 To this end, we will be offering a range of door prizes to those who attend, 
 and these items will have serious value. Further information will be release 
 in the next couple of days. We are seeking several more committee members to 
 add to our small group, most of whom are overworked and over-committed in 
 other areas to do full justice to the job. 
 
 If you are keen to see WAMUG continue, as are all the members of the 
 committee, please consider nominating for a place with us. Our meetings are 
 casual (a little too much at times!) but every one on the committee is 
 committed to to the continuation of WAMUG and the concept of the monthly 
 meeting. If all we hear is be be believed, 2014 is going to an exciting year 
 for Apple, and it's great to be able to help bring some of that excitement 
 to WAMUG members.

Best wishes for the New year

[Maureen Smith]

To all Wamuggers,

I am what some would term a list lurker. (Sounds somewhat malevolent doesn't 
it?)

I just wanted to 'break cover' and thank all the wonderful people who 
contribute to the WAMUG list, especially Ronnie, Daniel Kerr and Peter 
Hinchcliffe. Your information and suggestions are so valuable. 

Thank you to everyone who participates and I hope you all have a wonderful 2011.

Cheers,

Maureen Smith

 Can you tell me where the meeting will be held? Thanks

Tomorrow night (3 March) is WAMUG's Annual General Meeting.  
Accordingly, we are looking for new Committee members and Office  
Bearers. If you make to no other WAMUG meeting this year, please try  
to come along tomorrow night. We urgently need your input and  
support, and the Committee needs fresh blood!


If you are in any way entrepreneurial, feel that the WAMUG meetings  
(and WAMUG itself for that matter) are dull, colourless and boring  
and need something added, feel that you can spare an hour so every  
month and are keen to see WAMUG continue in its present form, or  
even in a different form, or have any opinion at all. please  
consider nominating for a position on the committee. WAMUG Needs You!


Please not also that in order to vote you must be a financial  
member. You can make the payment of $30 in several ways:


1. By Cheque (made out to Western Australian Macintosh Users Group)

2. By paying Real Money

3.  Online by visiting http://www.wamug.org.au/join/ and clicking  
on the red Paymate link on the right of the page


4. By direct Electronic Transfer, the details of which are:
Bank: Bankwest
Account Name: Western Australian Macintosh Users Group
BSB: 306075
Account Number: 4197787

Once the official part of the evening is dispensed with, we will  
have a look at the new features of iLife 09. This will probably take  
up the great of the evening, because there is a great deal to show.  
iLife is a major upgrade to Apple's perennial showpiece software  
suite, and while we will be able to cover most of the new additions  
and changes, there will be much we won't get to cover. For me, the  
changes in iPhoto alone are worth the price of admission.


Hope to see you there!
