iMUGDear iMUG Visitor,

iMUG is internet based, so a lot of the normal things people associate with a user group are impossible to implement over the internet, such as guest speakers, product demos, and other miscellany. We have tried my best to make iMUG as great a MUG experience as possible without the bricks and mortar. We have an email list, which can be configured to your daily schedule, and we offer full access to the PowerMax- & Apple-sponsored MUG Store. At the MUG Store you can save some serious cash on new Apple products, and save even more on refurbished Macs. iMUG is a SchwarzTech site, meaning your no further than a click away from Mac news, commentary, and product reviews.

iMUG members are also eligible for many deals from Apple and other vendors, as well as free Macworld Expo tickets.

Thanks,
Eric Schwarz
President, iMUG

Who We Are

iMUG was created in 1999 for Mac users who didn’t want to spend the large amounts of money on yearly MUG dues, were not able to attend meetings, or just wanted another MUG to supplement their current MUG. “Meetings” were initially in the form of a email discussion list / online forum. Over time, iMUG has gone through many changes, including a few different web sites, some policy changes, and finally official Apple-recognized MUG status.

The software/hardware we support is always changing, but we welcome Mac users of any machines, and also support Mac-related peripherals, such as PalmOS handhelds and iPods. Apple II users are also welcome, although the main focus is Macintosh. The iMUG-Talk list is designed as a place for users to share photos of their setups, ask questions to other members, and access member-only information, such as the login and password for the MUG Store, where users can save some serious cash on new and refurbished Mac products.

We also offer free tickets to the Macworld Expos for members, in our regular newsletter, along with other announcements from Apple.

Currently iMUG meets via the iMUG-Talk discussion list, a Yahoo Group.
