Tidewater Area Macintosh Users Group

Tidewater Area Macintosh Users Group An Apple User Group Serving the Cities of Tidewater, Virginia. http://tidewatermug.757.org TarMac was founded by a group of three Mac enthusiasts in 1984.

They founded TarMac on the principle that formalities during user group meetings only interfere with the club's primary purpose -- to enjoy all things Apple. Because of this founding concept, TarMac remains an informal organization, open to all. As Apple has evolved, so has TarMac. While once solely a Macintosh users group, we've grown into a group that supports all Apple products.

We had a terrific meeting on April 16th. While we talked about several Apple-related topics, the main event for the evening was a discussion of Google's use (and other search engine use of) AI to improve searching. The more specific your question, the better the Google can answer it. We even had Google tell us the name of a flower by showing it a picture.

A current TarMac member (thanks, Ray!) found this article in today’s Virginian Pilot newspaper. It’s an excellent history of Apple in a 10-minute read. Brings back lots of memories.

A scrawny hippie and a nerdy engineer who became prank-playing friends vowed to change the world when they founded a Silicon Valley startup on April Fools’ Day 50 years ago and then — no joke — pulled it off.

TarMac FEBRUARY Meeting Cancellation Announcement.

While we regret having to cancel our meetings, it’s still in everyone’s best interest that we not meet. Hopefully, with a vaccine now available, we'll be able to resume in-person meetings soon.

Our decision was based on consideration of several factors:
1. The increasing number of COVID infections in Virginia and the governor’ restriction in the size of social groups.
2. The age and increased vulnerability of our attendees.
3. The reduced number of attendees during recent meetings.
