Miniapples BBS
You are a member looking for all the Mac help you can get, right? You want your money's worth out of this membership. You just missed the MacOSX SIG, or the Main Mac, AppleWorks, Vectorworks, etc. SIGs and have this problem you'd really like to get an answer to. So why wait another month? The Miniapples BBS is sitting here, being utilized everyday. Scores of questions are being asked & answered by local Miniapples members. And the sad thing is that the Miniapples BBS is not as good as it could be. Why? Because your not there! The collaborative nature of this beast is such that the pooling of experience, knowledge, and participation makes the BBS more effective....more knowledge, more questions answered. So please get yourself signed up for the BBS. For help, we have a First Class Sign Up Article to assist you. Or see the Members Helping Members (Page 4) listing in the Newsletter or send me a note and I'll see that you get some help. Signing up is just not that hard. Hope to see you there! Dave Peck 2006 Board of Directors Update Miniapples is a Macintosh
oriented organization powered by volunteers. Each year the BOD is elected
with new and returning members. The results of the 2006 elections are
as follows. 12/05 iCal Update- iCal has been working properly for the Miniapple Calendar. HTML links appear properly and the calendar data has not self-wiped recently. The latest version is 1.5.5. Backups for all important data is recommended. Due to an event where all of the club's meeting data disappeared (approx 9 months ago), it still is recommended that a backup copy of the .ics calendar file(s) be created and stored elsewhere. This file (one for each calendar maintained) is found in the home>library>calendars folder. 12/05 Game On Man! Christmas is around the corner...
9/05 Novice SIG Leader Retiring- After
many years of service to Miniapples as the Novice SIG leader, Richard
Becker is retiring. The Board of Directors thanks Richard for all his
hard work and wishes him well in future endeavors. We hope to see you
around at the Miniapples meetings! 6/05 Attention Photoshop Enthusiasts!! 6/05 A Giant Thanks to our SIG Leaders
and Board of Directors- Miniapples
is a volunteer organization. Without the unselfish efforts of our
volunteers, especially our SIG Leaders, the Minnesota Apple Computer
User Group would cease to exist. It is a tribute to Apple Computers
that so many people feel so strongly about the MacOS and are willing
to devote their time and effort to promoting the Mac experience.
You guys and gals really make it happen! Thank you. 5/05 Digital Imaging/Photoshop SIG Leader Retiring After many years of dedicated service to the Photoshop SIG, SIG Leader Gary Eckhardt is retiring. The Board of Directors thanks Gary warmly for making this SIG happen. If you know Gary or see him at a meeting, say hello! If there is anyone who would like to run a Photoshop Special Interest Group please contact Dave Peck or anyone on the Board of Directors. 12/04 Apple Forums: Did you know that Apple.com hosts a complete set of Apple related forums for their hardware and software products? This is a great resource for getting answers. 12/04 FYI Miniapples maintains a mac.com
address where you can access the Miniapples BBS software- First
Class, and the Miniapples 25th Year Celebration pictures. For more
info on signing up for the Miniapples BBS, check the bottom of this
page under "Almost New Announcements". You must be a member
to access the BBS. Guest sign-on is possible but message threads can't
be read. Become a member to remedy! :) 9/04-Main Mac SIG Leader Wanted! Miniapples is looking for a new Main Mac SIG Leader. You don't have to be a Mac technical wizard to run the SIG.

Mac discussion. Get Mac questions answered. :-) 11/03 Miniapples iCal Calendar Woes Update
11/13/03- It appears that if you view the calendar from the
web site using the link, and then view an individual event, the time
in the event-details can be off by hours, earlier or later. This may
be a bug. However the time listed in the event header is correct. If
there is a discrepancy, please go by the header time. Most SIG meetings
start at 7pm (except the MacConsultants SIG-7am and Meet Your iMac
SIG -6pm). Special events like the Novice Workshop and Annual Auction
will have different start times. 10/03 mini’app’les 25 Year
