Special Interest Group Meetings Schedule

PMUG's new SIG (Special Interest Group) class, "Beginning Mac", are held in Founders Suite B at the Prescott Public Library - the same room where PMUG General Meetings are held. The SIG sessions will go from 10 am till noon, with a break after the first hour.

The Basic Mac SIG has gone well these past months, and we've helped several PMUG members to get started enjoying their Mac. Starting in August, we will hold the SIG classes about twice each month, and continue as long as there is an interest. We'll post the meeting dates in iCal, so look at it and put the meeting dates on your daytimer so you don't miss a meeting.

The Photoshop SIG is only intended to give you familiarity with the tools available in Photoshop. There will be some discussion of iPhoto and Photoshop Elements for comparison purposes only. Separate SIGs should be devoted to those applications.

When the Photoshop SIG is completed, John will introduce GIMP as an alternative to Photoshop. Everything you learn about Photoshop can be transferred to GIMP. Why GIMP? It's FREE!

Keep looking here for more instructional SIGs that will be offered in the future.

... Your instructors: Jim, Bobbie, John and anyone else who wants to contribute.

The dates have to vary due to availability of the room at the Library. Please mark your calendar and attend if you are new to the Mac and would like to learn more about the basics of using and enjoying it. Bring your questions, too.

If you have a Mac laptop, bring it to the session, fully charged, plus paper and pencil to take notes, and your library card (if you have one) in case you want to connect to the internet. The instructor will have a Mac to display information onto a screen for those who can't bring a laptop. There is no charge for these sessions for PMUG members. We plan to continue them as long as there is sufficient interest.
