FileMaker Pro SIG
4th Thursday of month 6:30 PM

SIG Leader: Steve Wilmes (651)458-1513. Steve runs Steve Wilmes Consulting Inc. and hosts the club's BBS.



iWorks/AppleWorks
1st Wednesday of month 7:00 pm
This SIG will be updated to include iWorks in the future.
The AppleWorks (AW) Special Interest Group (SIG) meets the first Wednesday of every month—unless it falls on a holiday. A group of AW users gathers to learn more about the various components of the AppleWorks all-in-one program: word processing, data base, spreadsheet, drawing, and painting. Attendees often come with questions about specific aspects of a problem they encountered while using AppleWorks; the question/problem may be something one of us has experience with, or it may be a conundrum for all. We work together as we attempt to find a solution. The combined efforts may result in "aha" moments for us. Although AppleWorks is no longer being developed, or sold by Apple, folks continue to use it because it works. We have fun working together on problems or simply exploring aspects of the program we haven't used much.
SIG Leader: John Hunkins Sr. (651)457-8949
