Who are you? Derek and I used to come to the meetings in Brighton, with Jason Kitkat at the helm. A very happy (and hepful) time! SMUG is still our favourite “go to” for solving problems, though sometimes I go to Oxford Mac-User Group ( members...@oxmug.org<mailto:members...@oxmug.org> ) which is nearer to our home in Wallingford. They have a very knowledgeable Sam but he is called Ewen!

It's still the place to go for Mac-related queries - I've always had helpfulness and kindness on the group even when my queries were naive and probably irritating. Still a Mac fan too but my 2012 Macbook Pro is going strong (handling all the recent years of videoconferencing superbly) so haven't bought any new kit in a while apart from my iPhone8 and an Apple watch.

Long departed Sussex and now in London, Crouch End (where? up above Finsbury Park, near Highgate) but parents and outlaws still in Eastbourne so we retain ancestral ties ;) V grateful for you all on here!

I somehow got locked out – not because of naughty behaviour, I hasten to add! Derek On Tuesday, November 5, 2024 at 11:32:57 AM UTC Jason Davies wrote: Hi folks, Despite being list admin for a while of this group, I've never actually lived in Sussex (haha). I joined because the London Mac User Group had become a feral wilderness and it was the nearest one. I thought I might also try to join the Buckinghamshire one (if one exists) but have had no success finding one, nor even finding any group. All the supposed networks (like http://www.macusersuk.org/index.html) seem to be abandoned. So I'm curious how people find groups (and maybe it's just my search algorithm being unhelpful – I don't use Facebook, either). Cheers, J Anecdote mode: While I was list admin I was contacted by the mafia I mean the people running the list above (I think it was) who had all kinds of demands about how the list and group should be run run. They insisted on membership fees, organised in-person meetings (monthly, I think), presentations to be organised by companies to offer discounts if you signed up there and then - far more than I had time to do. Rather than say 'don't you have anything better to do?' I did put it to this group who thought membership fees would be the death-knell, and I certainly didn't have time to check people had paid their £2 a month and set up bank accounts etc for this. I told them we didn't want to do that and they threatened me repeatedly with expelling us from the official list of MUGs. I think there was a vague move to meeting in-person for those interested, which fizzled out. I said they were welcome to run that stuff for us but I was only able to run the list (I became convinced none of them had jobs, and were happy to spend their entire lives doing this) and they seemed to back off. Now I suspect all those retired bullies are...less active, since the site is broken and looks like it was optimised for a Powerbook 150.
