BMUG welcomes enthusiastic computer users, people who want to get more involved in creative applications for their machines, people who are willing to share their own knowledge and are eager to learn from others. Whether you are a member or not, we hope you will find your visit to the BMUG web site rewarding. In addition to serving members, we offer the Apple/Mac community world-wide access to our manuals, our various free download documents including club enewsletters, as well as the BMUG Quicktime video tutorials. Download free manuals, tutorials and enewsletters... Our recompense is knowing that we are adding to the general store of Apple/Mac skills and knowledge, however, should you wish to show your gratitude in some small way, why not sign up online and become a BMUG member or one of our many remote members. BMUG meetings are informal, and we are very open to member’s suggestions for activities, demonstrations and topics. You can take part. Be assured that our group welcomes beginners, and people who don’t even own a Mac yet. We work at being “geek free”, so don’t worry if you are totally uninterested in technicalities. What do you do with your Mac? Whatever you do with your Mac you will gain from participating in our group. You may be sure that you will find someone at BMUG who is able to help you with any issue, someone who knows who to ask, and someone who can benefit from what you have to offer. downloads.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0
