The MUG Event Calendar for February 5: Walt Mossberg, Apple, Roxio, Mark/Space, LightWave, Echos of Macworld Expo and More
While the impact of the year’s biggest event continues to be felt at Mac User Groups around the world, new presentations and vendors are on the schedule as MUGs fall into a more regular meeting routine.
Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal will be at a group in Virginia, Apple will visit a group in Seattle, Roxio will be showing off the newest version of Toast in California and has extended a special invitation for MUG members to attend, and a LightWave representative will visit a group in Texas.
While that’s a nice listing of high-profile guests for any week, home-grown presentations dominate the landscape this week. Many groups are having their first post-Macworld Expo gatherings, while others are focusing on tax programs, iPhoto, Mac utilities, genealogy, iPod speaker systems and much more.
Want to see your group’s name in our listing? All you need is email. Send the information in and we’ll get it listed.
