Re: Posting to mailing list soon for WAMUG members only
Whilst I agree with all the points regarding the cost/benefit of membership, one of the points Adrian made was regarding attending flesh ware, face to face, meetings, BBQ's etc., and forgive my assumption Adrian, I think you feel that a discounted membership should be given to people who don't want to join in with the face to face meetings. I see the opposite. If I recall correctly, the results of the survey indicated that the majority of WAMUG list members did not attend face to face meetings, me included. For me, WAMUG IS the mailing list, and $30 is a pretty reasonable fee. There could be gold coin donation for face to face meetings help cover costs of the bikkies. :-) Tim Sent from my iPad On 10/06/2012, at 2:32 PM, Julie Bedford jew...@iinet.net.au wrote: I also agree with you Daniel.

I dont have a problem with paying the $30 in fact I have felt a bit guilty for years because I never got around to it before. I was only thinking of those pensioners and the like who may be doing it a bit tough with the recent and substantial increase in the cost of living.

Re: Posting to mailing list soon for WAMUG members only
Remember that people can still join the mailing list and get valuable information for Free, even if it is not specific. I've gained valuable tips reading posts from others who specialise in the use of Macs in various industries or areas that I don't dabble in. The value in the $30 membership is that you can post a question and get a personal answer from people that have skilss and experience or maybe better googling skills. :-) I know from experience that many people do not value IT support in the same way they might get the value of a plumber coming out when you're laundry is flooding. Oh, until they've lost everything off their hard driveand don't have a backup Nevertheless, $30 doesn't get you a lot in the world of IT/Computer support on a once off occasion so a years worth of questions and answers is value for money.

Hi Adrian I can't speak for the committee, but personally I think the set up is actually pretty good for what is actually supplied for the WAMUG list.

Re: Posting to mailing list soon for WAMUG members only
I am with you Daniel. PS: When does the year expire for WAMUG ? On 10/06/2012, at 1:46 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote: Hi Adrian I can't speak for the committee, but personally I think the set up is actually pretty good for what is actually supplied for the WAMUG list. They have two paid fees, the $30 member's fee and the $120 corporate fee. And I personally think the $30 is a bargain! Considering the ongoing running costs to keep everything going from hosting, domain name fees, server maintenance, list maintenance, support etc, let alone all the free given time that the Committee itself puts in for no reimbursement to keep it all running. I doubt you'd find anywhere these days where $30 goes that far. If you call Apple themselves for non Applecare queries, or a one off query you're looking at $99 per incident! Even most places will charge for email or phone support on a one off basis. There's very little these days for free given the cost of living, overheads and every day expenses. It's the nature of the world today unfortunately. I know even Ronni pays her $30/year membership and i think she's asked one query the whole time she's been on list!! lol :o) So she's really paying to give the support! lol ;o) I personally feel that just having the two fees is a lot easier to look after and just makes it more simple given the nature of the mailing list. And as mentioned, this really isn't that much for the amount of help that is received. Realistically I don't think much of the costings are used for non meeting attendees, well bar the new indemnity insurance required unfortunately that WAMUG now requires.

Re: Posting to mailing list soon for WAMUG members only
Good morning all, For some time now I have wondering if the committee has given any thought to having an associate membership (for the want of a better term) with a reduced fee that would allow elder members i.e. pensioners and others on a fixed income or even those in more remote areas, to seek occasional assistance, I don't think there would be many, if any, that would begrudge paying a fee for the amazing help that is so often forthcoming on the list. I also think another point that may be worth considering is that many of the aforementioned are not able to attend the groups meetings or functions either at all or even occasionally.
