^^^^^^^^^^ TCMUG REGISTERED USER GROUP ^^^^^^^^^^
We have went through the process of registering our user group with Apple. Apple has standards that are put in place before you can become registered. Well, since we are now one year old, we decided it was time and felt that we met the criteria. We are now an acknowledged Mac User Group with Apple!!! We should now be able to take advantage of a wealth of services and resources that are available to registered MUG's. The TCMUG is also listed on the Apple web site if you are searching for a User Group in Ohio.

^^^^^^^^^^ MUG CENTER STORE ^^^^^^^^^^
The MUG Store has been completely redesigned for your shopping convenience. To celebrate, the MUG Store is offering instant rebates exclusively to User Group members.
So if you haven't surfed over to the MUG Store in a while, check it out. It's a great place for good deals and excellent service. And don't forget that one percent of the cost of anything your membership purchases is available back to each user group towards anything the MUG Store sells.
The MUG Store will take any older iPod in trade toward one of the recently introduced new models! Upgrading to the latest and greatest iPod may be easier and cheaper than you thought. Call 800-689-8191 for complete details.

^^^^^^^^^^ MAC SOFTWARE SPOTLIGHT ^^^^^^^^^^
EarthDesk 2.0 Now Available for Download
----------------------------------------
Trygve H. Inda, developer of the premier world time and mapping tool, Time Palette, announces the immediate availability of EarthDesk 2.0, a major upgrade to the wildly popular dynamic desktop map application.
EarthDesk replaces your static desktop picture with an animated, real-time rendered image of the Earth, continuously updating in the background while you work. The software supports eleven different map projections, political and satellite views, and renders accurate sun, moon and city lighting.
What's new in version 2.0:
* Vastly improved performance and efficiency with preemptive multitasking.
* Complete multi-display support - a different map on each screen.
* Significantly higher quality twilight shading.
* Automatically updates when waking from sleep.
* Moonlight shading can be turned on or off.
* Map update frequency can be precisely controlled.
* Help system and Atlas files are encapsulated in a single application file.
* Revised interface - a total Aqua experience under OS X.
EarthDesk requires a Macintosh computer with MacOS 9.1+ or MacOS X 10.1+.
Single user copies of EarthDesk may be purchased online for $19.95 while registered users of any previous version of EarthDesk are eligible to upgrade to version 2.0 for $9.95.

^^^^^^^^^^ TCMUG LOGO NEEDED^^^^^^^^^^
To TCMUG members - Massive Search Underway for Logo ideas!
We need to have a TCMUG logo created for use on our website and for materials we produce for the community. Knowing there are several graphics folk in the group, we're asking for ideas. Nothing complex, please. You needn't do a layout. Perhaps just a verbal rough idea? Please contact us with your ideas.
Thanks,
Scott Daniels
President
