March gets off to a fine start on “The MUG Event Calendar” as everyone waits to see what Apple will unveil on March 7, and how it will affect upcoming month’s meeting topics.

iCloud is getting extra attention as MobileMe’s June expiration date approaches, with meetings in Ireland and California. Jailbreaking your iPhone will be discussed in Kansas, and the video of the making of Burt Monroy‘s “Time Square” piece will be viewed in Illinois. Other topics and meeting this week include a field trip to an Apple Store, a garage sale, spreadsheet tips and tricks and more.

“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/).
