August starts to wind down on “The MUG Event Calendar.” Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus will make a virtual visit to an Ohio group, while a California group will focus on Apple’s Mail program, and a Florida group will consider what is “free and cheap.”

Other topics up for discussion this week include Android, iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad apps, web browsers, digital photography, and a film project using the Red digital camera.

“The MUG Event Calendar” can be found at The MUG Center (http://www.mugcenter.com), an online resource for Mac User Groups. MUGs are good places for making new friends in the Mac community, imProving your computing skills, finding solutions to technical Problems, and perhaps locating a good deal on used hardware. For more info on MUGs, and to find the location of the one nearest you, go to Apple’s MUG page (http://www.apple.com/usergroups).
