TMUG Meeting - November 10 2008
From TMUG - The Triangle Macintosh Users Group

— Recovering a Stolen Mac, and Considerations for Keeping your Mac and its Data Secure in the Event —
Based on recent TMUG-list discussion, the executive committee has decided that a program on securing and potentially recovering a stolen Mac will be useful to our general audience. Charles Mangin will cover the common mechanisms available in OSX to secure your data in the event of theft or other compromise. We'll move beyond this to methods of contacting and communicating with your stolen computer, hopefully acquiring enough information so that authorities stand a good chance of recovering it.
And if that isn't enough somehow, we will still begin with our normal Q&A session, emceed by Bob Chandler. And we will premiere a short segment right before the break that highlights new or interesting iPhone apps. We will also be discussing the Christmas meeting, including the proposed events & giveaways we are planning with excitement.
Our iMac Give Away is getting closer to concluding! Since the announcement of the iMac Give Away at our June meeting, 51 TMUG'ers have renewed or joined. We will hold a drawing for a new iMac at the meeting when the 80 member goal is reached. We hope this will be in December... but only if 31 additional renewal & new memberships are received. If your membership is due to expire in the next 3 months, or has expired already, don't put it off – renew today!
The meeting will begin at 6:30 pm on November 10 at the Hope Community Church in Raleigh. We will have the usual drawings for several door prizes for TMUG members throughout the meeting. Remember, TMUG is the undisputed leading Mac User Group in the Triangle... & beyond! See you there!
(Attendance at the November meeting was 39, including 2 new members, 2 renewals, & 5 guests.)
