- Book Discounts - As a member of our MUG (Mac User Group) you will qualify for discounts from our supporting publishers, Peachpit and O'Reilly.
- Library - Since December of 2003 we have been building our library of books of interest to our members. We now have over a hundred books. Members can borrow them for 30 days at no charge.
- Mac Cheat Sheet - Here's a handy way to collect and save the information about your Mac. The next time you have someone come and help out with a problem or go to the Apple store, be sure you take your Mac Cheat Sheet with you. Just fill out the pdf form and take a copy with you.
- SCUM 411 - Since the beginning of San Carlans Using Macintosh, help sessions have been a big part of every meeting. On the first Monday of the month our members can use the combined talents our forty or fifty fellow SCUM folks to get their Mac questions answered. You can download a pdf file to show you what information you can offer to get the most help from the group and bring it to the meeting. Or you can email your request to your webmaster. Answers to 411 questions are covered in the monthly minutes.
- SCUM Mentor Program - San Carlans Using Macintosh (SCUM) Mentors will offer knowledgeable solutions when they meet with SCUM members for one hour of one-on-one coaching. Here’s how it works:
1. SCUM members describe their Mac problem in an email Edd Dundas.
2. Edd will select from a list of mentors and their skills and ask the appropriate Mentor to contact the member in need by email or phone to arrange a time to meet.
3. The Mentor and the member will agree to meet and notify Edd. If they wish to use the Macs in the ACC Lab, they will ask Edd to confirm the availability of the Lab, and reserve the day and hour.
4. If the member needing assistance has a Mac laptop, they may wish to meet at another place that is mutually convenient.
5. Edd will keep a log of Lab appointments and email addresses of the mentor and the members needing help.
We look forward to helping you. Thanks.
Note: If the Mentor doesn't respond in 3 days, please email Edd for a reference to another Mentor.
