[muglo] Newcomer welcome

Thanks Doug for your warm welcome.
  I really enjoyed the meeting last night and the members there made  
me feel quite welcome. I felt the presentation was excellent and came  
away with a reasonable understanding what FileMaker Pro is capable of  
doing. The gathering at Williams afterwards  was equally enjoyable and  
i came away with a few more points concerning use of my Mac as well as  
some helpful tips on the iPhone (which I have been considering for  
awhile now) Everyone seemed quite willing to share their  
knowledge ,which is what a club is all about. As I mentioned last  
night I am a relative newcomer to the Mac world since purchasing my  
MacBook Pro in Feb this year (actually the day of the big snowstorm in  
Feb '08) I have been in the Windows world since the early 80's.

What made me come over to the "dark side"? Well, my other passion is  
photography and I am a member of the London Camera Club. A number of  
their members use Macs and when I've attended workshops alot of the  
workshop presenters were using Macs. I have noticed over the years  
that Microsoft has been continually trying to emulate the Mac with its  
Windows upgrades especially the new Vista OS. My middle daughter had  
her PC laptop die at Guelph University so I replaced it with a MacBook  
and it was her persistence that swayed me over to the Mac side. Since  
getting my Mac I can see what everyone in the Mac world have been  
talking about. I wish I had come over sooner as it is a far superior  
OS to the Windows systems, The hardest part of going to a Mac is  
trying to unlearn some of the Windows habits that I have developed  
over the years.  I still have a long way to go with the Mac and find  
that clubs are the best way to get to know the computer and the  
various pieces of software available.

I'll definitely be at next meeting. Is there an annual membership fee  
and if so how much is it so that I can bring it to the next meeting?

See you at the meeting in Jan. '09.
