Is HKMUG a subsidiary of Apple Computer?
HKMUG is an independent non-profit-making organization, and does not belong to any business organization. But of course we often cooperate with Apple Computer and other Mac vendors in organizing functions and providing special offers to our members.
Why should I choose to join HKMUG among the numerous Mac user organizations in HK?
HKMUG is a non-profit-making Mac registered under HK Community Ordinances, and has a history of 15 years. Because of this, we are more experienced in knowing what local Mac users feel and need. More importantly, we have an established structure and constitution, and our committee is elected on a one-person-one-vote status, so as to best-protect the interests of our members.
Why should I use the BBS when there are so many free discussion forums on the internet?
Our BBS is limited only to our members, so you can join discussion without the fear of flame-wars and intimidation. You can even feel safe to sell or buy used items in our Second-Hand Market on the BBS. Our Shareware Library is a fine selection by our enthusiastic members. In a nutshell, as our member, you can enjoy the best service in town.
I've never used BBS Email service before. What are the advantages of using it?
1. You can read/write emails with the easy-to-use interface of the BBS; 2. Our BBS uses a unique system that can prevent email viruses like those attacking Outlook and email clients alike; 3. You can create storage folders and subfolders freely to store and retrieve files in the ways the Mac Finder does; 4. Extra fees will not be suddenly levied because charges are guaranteed in our Constitution, and can only be altered by a vote among members.
HKMUG really sounds attractive! How can I join it?
The best way is to come to our monthly meeting to join us! If you cannot attend, you may fill out the application form and send it back to us with a cheque. We will send you the membership kit and BBS login info ASAP.
