Sandy Foderick, Apple Regional Liaison for North Central United States and Virtual & Online Macintosh User Groups (MUGs) is the guest for the current version of The User Group Report, the audio series of interviews with people making news in the MUG community.
Foderick talks about her own online group, VMUG, a panel discussion on the subject at Macworld, the advantages and pitfalls of virtual MUGs and more, according to Chuck Joiner, editor-in-chief of The MUG Center, an online resource for Mac user groups. You can listen directly online.
MUGs are good places for making new friends, finding Mac-loving buddies, boning up your technical expertise, finding solutions to technical problems, and sometimes finding a good deal on used hardware.
