The June meeting of the Michigan Apple User group was held at our new meeting location at the Mac Michigan Training Center located at 26100 American Drive in Southfield Michigan.
This seemed to be one of the best attended meetings of the year and all that attended were impressed with the new location even though the training center was not quite yet operational.
After a brief Q & A session from the members, we asked the members a few questions about what they wanted to get out of the “NEW Michigan Apple User Group” since this is a “rebirth” of sort for the group.
On the subject of future demos, members replied:
- Toast 9 Demo
- Photoshop Elements Demo
- Delicious Library 2 Demo
- Slide scanning Demo (expand to Photography & images?)
- Backing up (in both Tiger & Leopard)
- Gadget of the Month (Cool & useful item)
On the subject of Door Prizes, members said they wouldn’t mind taking home:
- Various Mac Games
- a new iPhone
- a Mac Mini
- a iPod Touch
- Free Training Class at Mac Michigan
- Airport Express
- Quality Computer Speakers
- iPods (any)
- Mac related T-Shirts
- Mac related swag
President Chris Thompson went on to show the group a few cool things as the main Topic of the meeting (lack of true Internet until next meeting bumped the planned Demo).
We held our Door Prize Raffle for a $25 Target Gift Card (with cards) and a $15 iTunes Card.
Our next meeting is on July 10th at the new place with Topic being “Backing Up Your Mac”.
Hey Kids! Our new digs are ready (mostly) and the board decided to take the plunge and move the June 12 meeting to our new address. 26100 American Dr., Suite 100, Southfield, MI, in the Westview Office Park.
Our topic will be the announcements made by Steve Jobs at the 2008 World Wide Developers Conference keynote, and how to recapture the video of a DVD made with iDVD. See you there! Same Apple-time (7:30), different Apple-station!
The Michigan Apple website took a little vacation for the first few days in June but is back to its normal state of inactivity.

Our next meeting is on Thursday June 12, 2008, It could possibly be at our new location, so be sure to check the website and your email for the latest information.
If we do not move to the new location this Month, we will definitely be there for our July meeting.
Please plan to attend and feel free to bring a friend!
The Michigan Apple meets at The Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall, 174 Bowers Street in Clawson MI (near 14 Mile, just North of I-75). We start the meeting at 7:30pm
Hi folks, we talked about moving some months ago, and we’re on track to do just that. But our new digs aren’t ready yet, so we’re still at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Lodge in Clawson, MI. Rest assured, when we move, we’ll shout it so all of Metro Detroit can hear. And we’ll provide detailed directions to get there. But for the time being, the second Thursday of each month is the date and Clawson’s the place! See you at 7:30!
At the February 14th Meeting of The Michigan Apple User Group, we take a first look at Microsoft Office 2008, the long awaited upgrade to the Industry Standard for Word Processing, Presentations, Spreadsheets, and email.
This is the first of a series of Demos for Office 2008. This month we feature Microsoft Word, the Industry standard for Word Processing.
We will also breifly recap the Macworld Show which happened in January 2008, plus hold Nominations for the upcoming Elections in March for the Michigan APple Board of Directors.
