This week’s episode of the Macworld Podcast features a discussion with the MacinTech MUG—MUG stands for Mac Users Group, and this one is located in the Denver area of Colorado in the United States. They’ve been together for decades and we take this opportunity to talk about MUGs, how they got started, what MUGs meant to the early days of the Mac, and what has happened to MUGs. MacinTech meets monthly and I joined them during their September meeting, which occurred the day after the Apple Glowtime event.
Brad Tombaugh, a founder of MacinTech, speaks about the history of MUGs. Several other members, including David Bourne, Chris Domino, and Robert Zimmerman, share their MUG stories. I failed to identify who was who during our chat, so I apologize for that. I’d like to thank Andy Suhaka of MacinTech for setting this all up.
I encourage you to listen if you have never heard of a Mac User Group. They’ve got great stories and plenty of interesting history.
This is episode 908 with the MacinTech Mac Users Group and Roman Loyola.
