[WAMUG] "But 3 Get 1 free" Update

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

I hope you and your loved ones had a happy and relaxing Christmas day and have 
not been injured in the rush to get a Boxing Day bargain.

You may remember that an email was sent to the list on the 18th of December 
informing you that your Committee had decided that list members who had paid 
their membership fees for the past three years, 2021-2023, would have free 
membership access for 2024

Today, according to our financial records, I emailed each member to whom this 
applied. 

For the rest of the list members, remember, ,you can still read list posts and 
are always welcome to attend the WAMUG General meetings each month. 

If anyone has any queries regarding membership fees, I am happy to assist where 
I can

Kind regards, 

Maureen

[WAMUG] "Buy3 and get 1 free"

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,
   At the November Committee Meeting, your Committee decided that list
   members who have paid their membership fees for the past three years,
   2021-2023, will have free membership access for 2024.
   It is the Committee's way of saying thank you for your continued
   support. Consider it a “Buy 3 and get 1 free” deal, or perhaps an early
   Christmas present.
   We have a record of the members who have paid fees for the past three
   years and they will contacted individually via email within the week. I
   will notify the mailing list when this occurs.
   Kind regards,
   Maureen

   we can assist you

   2 PDFGear - free downloadable software.

   Apple’s Preview does 80% of the functions included in PDF Gear, but a
   few extras make PDF Gear a valuable piece of software.

   We have previously looked at this archive of internet sites. But this
   time, we will be focusing on some interesting downloads.

 Hello fellow WAMUGgers,
 Do you know the origins of the idiom to "wing it"?   To 'wing it'
   means
 to make something up as you go along, and it originates in the world
   of
 19th-century theatre when actors might be learning their lines at the
 last minute while standing in the wings or were on stage and had to
   be
 prompted from the wings.
 I have given you this gem of knowledge, not so it may be helpful at
 your next quiz night, though that may be true, but because at this
 month's General Meeting, the committee is 'winging it.'
 We do not have any new software demonstrations, but when we meet, we
 can all contribute something that may inspire, help or further
   develop
 our knowledge of all some things Apple.

   MEETING TOPICS

   1 Available or coming in macOS Sonoma

   2 Airdropping over the internet

   3 Creating a collaborative playlist

   4 A look at a Journal App

   brings "new dimension" to users' documents and presentations "with 3D
   objects. (Needs Ventura at minimum to work.)

[WAMUG] WAMUG General Meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,

   I hope you are enjoying your W.A. Day. For most of us, it is a bit wet
   (to say the least), and we may be spending our time indoors on our
   iPads or Macs or phones doing what we can do so well with Apple
   products. This email is to remind you that our meeting is tomorrow,
   June 6, at 7:30 pm, and we have some informative topics to help you
   gain the most from your devices, especially if you have upgraded to
   Ventura.

   If you haven’t yet done so, join the meeting and see what you will be
   able to do when you do.

   MEETING TOPICS


   1 As usual, we will start with our Q session. So if there are any
   questions that haven't been answered on the list ,or you would like to
   have a more personalised answer, we will certainly help solve your
   problem - if we can.

   We will be demonstrating some more tips and tricks to be found in
   Ventura mail and messages

   2 Mail
 * Unsending mail -  Useful for those occasions when you realise, just
   after you have clicked Send, that you didn't mean to send it to
   your boss.
 * Scheduling email - Very handy.
 * Rich Links - A way to give your email more context and detail at a
   glance.

   3 Messages
 * How to edit a message up to 15 minutes after you have sent it.
 * How to undo send message after you have sent it.

   4 We will be looking at the new Free Form app which is Apple’s new app
   designed for idea generation, planning, and collaboration

   5 And finally. a look at PowerPhotos app. - This not an Apple app, but
   it does work with the built-in Photos app on your Mac, giving you tools
   to help you get your photo collection in order

   As always, if you have found something nifty that works for you, we
   would love to hear about it.

[WAMUG] AGM Meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

On May 2, we will hold our Annual General Meeting, followed by our normal 
monthly meeting. Think of it as a 2fa. (Translation - two for one.)

The AGM will not last long and generally entails the President's and 
Treasurer's reports and the election of officials. To have your say and vote 
for committee members, you must be a paid-up member of WAMUG. To ensure foreign 
interests with large off-shore bank accounts do not hack this auspicious 
election process, we have a cut-off date after which only paid-up members can 
vote. The date is Thursday, April 27 2023

Please be aware that you can join WAMUG at any time but can only vote in the 
2023 WAMUG elections if payment has been received by April 27.


Now onto the voting. (I feel as if I am channelling the AEC)

To cast your vote, you need people to vote for. It's simply Democracy 101. The 
task of being a committee member is not onerous. We will not be mounting 
special operations to take over other organisations. 

It does involve attending monthly committee meetings, but these can be done via 
Zoom if members cannot travel or do not live in Perth. But the essential part 
of being a committee member is giving input and ideas. You do not have to be 
knowledgeable about Apple products and software - I am testament to that.

Please think about joining, even just for 12 months.

If you want to become a committee member, help fellow members and wave 
minuscule amounts of power. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to 
contact me via my personal email address.

Cheers,

Maureen Smith

[WAMUG] WMAU General Meeting includes Photos, ChatGPT, & Infinite Macintosh

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello WAMUGers.

   I hope you escape unscathed from any April Fools jokes. Most jokes
   these days are online, and the Washington Post has a tradition of
   debunking many brand and celebrity 'pranks' they can find. Check these
   out for yourself and see if you would have been caught out. The Post
   ruins April Fools' Day, 2023
   edition  [1]https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2023/04/0
   1/april-fools-pranks-hoaxes-2023/

   When you have finished, you should turn your attention to some real
   online information that is not foolish, promotional or a hoax. It is
   WAMUG's April General Meeting.

   Our agenda for this month.

 * Q 

 * 'Saving Photos" (We did not cover this in March's meeting. We hope
   this'll be a discussion rather than a presentation, as each of us
   has a way that works for us of saving and organising these
   memories. If attendees want to show what they do, it's easy to do
   with Zoom. The conversation could range from a digital shoebox
   collection to the ultimate catalogue method using Apple's Photos
   app. I am sure there will be something for everyone

 * ChatGPT- a brief look. How it could work for you.

 * Infinite Macintosh - If you remember (or are curious about) using
   older Macs, you should check out Infinite Macintosh. You click on
   the site, give it a few minutes to load in, and it's just like
   you're sitting behind old reliable one more time.

[WAMUG] WAMUG General Meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello Fellow WAMUGers,

   Depending on when you read this, I hope you are enjoying, or have
   enjoyed, this long weekend. I am letting the List know I can attend
   this month's General Meeting. I thought it would clash with the other
   group I have joined, the Perth Local Time Travel Group. Fortunately,
   they postponed their meeting until last Tuesday.

   So, I will be zooming in to hear and, hopefully, contribute to our
   WAMUG General Meeting on Tuesday 7th, March. (Again,depending on when
   you read this messages tomorrow or today). Zoom will be open from 7:15
pm for a 7:30 pm start.

   Besides our Q session at the start, we will be looking at Parking
   Apps, as we didn't get to cover that in the last meeting. Following
   that, will be a discussion on how we save our photos. Attendees will
   have the opportunity to explain how they save and organise their
   photos, and if they wish, they can demonstrate by presenting their
   screens. (Something that's easy to do on Zoom.)

   The conversation could range from a digital shoebox collection to the
   ultimate catalogue method using Apple's Photos app. I am sure there
   will be something for everyone.

   MEETING DETAILS

   Topics: Q Parking Apps; Saving photos
   Date:   7th March, 2023

   Time:   7:15 pm for a 7:30 pm start (pPerth time)

[WAMUG] February's meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello WAMUGgers,

   Christmas has passed, the New Year festivities are over, and Australia
   Day has been and gone. If you are feeling the post-celebration blues,
   don't despair. There is a celebratory event on the horizon.

   WAMUG's first meeting for 2023 is just nine days away. Yes, our first
   member's meeting will take place on Tuesday, 7 February. So mark the
   date in your calendar.

   WAMUG general meetings are open to WAMUG members and their friends and
   list subscribers. If you know someone who might want to join in, please
   send them the meeting details. (Just no horses. Experience has found
   they are so negative in meetings, such neigh-sayers.)

   Meeting Format

   As usual, we will begin with general greetings followed by question
   time, and then 'show, tell and ask topics.'

   This month's topics are

 * Phone parking apps - their uses, security etc.

 * Revisiting the application Keychain.

   How it works,

   Why you should use it and

   Do you need another password manager app?

 * Using QR codes on your macs

   These ubiquitous black-and-white, two-dimensional barcodes were
   designed to be accessed using smartphone devices. But what if you have
   a mac? Tune into our meeting to find out.

   So mark the date in iCal and set a reminder. We look forward to seeing
   you.

[WAMUG] December's WAMUG General Meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello Fellow WAMUGgers

   We are now in the run up to Christmas.

 * Red and green decorations abound with sprinklings of artificial
   snow.

   Join us this Tuesday, 6th December at 7:30 over Zoom for some knowledge
   gathering and Christmas cheer.

   TOPICS

   products which is proving to be a worthy competitor for Adobe.  For
   a limited time you can purchase a Universal Licence for the entire
   Affinity Suite.  Although this may not be something you are likely
   to use, if you have friends, staff or children who use Adobe
   Products invite them to attend the meeting.

[WAMUG] November's General Meeting

[Maureen Smith via WAMUG]

   Hello fellow WAMUGgers,

   We will hold our general meeting this Tuesday, the first Tuesday of the
   month. There is something else on that day but I cannot think what it
   might be. Obviously not as important as our meeting if it has skipped
   my mind.  (Hee Hee)
   I know some members who could not attend last month's meeting submitted
   questions and did not receive an answer. This is due to the differences
   in styles of email and meeting communications.
   Questions asked in a face-to-face or electronic meeting such as Zoom
   allow everyone to interact, to go back and forth, saying "No, no,
   that's not what I mean", or "Is this what you mean"? Questions asked at
   meetings allow us to check our understanding before answering and
   enable others to contribute.
   So if anyone has questions and cannot attend the meeting, post them to
   the list. I apologise if this sounds harsh, there is no intention to
   offend anyone. We can discuss such questions, but it is a moot effort
   if the questioner is not present to hear the answers.
   Below are the meeting details.
   WAMUG General Meeting
   Agenda includes
   1 Q & A time - send your questions to the list.
   2 A overview of the changes to Apple's books
   3 Zoom tips

   As mentioned in a post on the list on 5 September, the committee often
   needs help to come up with topics for our meetings, which is certainly

   So …… we are asking our members two things.
   1   Any suggestions from you regarding discussion ideas or topics?
   They do not have to be groundbreaking or complicated. Often a question

   2   If you have learnt something new or have an app, are you

   those who have seen some of my demos.
Meeting details will come out shortly.
