Correction

Last week we reported on Bob (Dr. Mac) LeVitus trip to the Philladelphia area, pulling "Mid-Atlantic" links from the UGN registered groups to accompany the article. Bob had, unfortunately not included links.

Maria O. Arguello, Apple User Group Regional Liaison for Northeast, was quick to point out
      [Quote] "Neither the TAG team nor MacBUS had anything to do with Bob LeVitus summer tour 2007. The MUGs that were involved were: Princeton Macintosh Users Group (www.pmug-nj.org), the Hershey Apple Core (www.hersheyapplecore.com), and the Main Line Macintosh Users Group (www.mlmug.org).

Sorry for the confustion.

User Groups who wish to update their listings in the UGN User Group directory, or who want to be listed for the first time, and become part of the longest continually operated user group listing can do so easily at: www.user-groups.net/registration/

Quotes: Andrew Alden, Les Brown

"Before speaking, consider the interpretation of your words as well as their intent."
      - Andrew Alden

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."
      - Les Brown

Have a great week... (See last week)
