On episode 356 of Geekiest Show Ever, we talk to Bob Wood of ThinkBob.com. Bob is also President of the Tucson Macintosh Users Group of which Melissa is a member. We discuss the value of user groups and how you can join or support one near you — or — not so near you since many are now online for virtual attendance.

Bob’s Notes

Mac User Groups

• Apple Podcasters and pundits should become members of their local MUGs and volunteer to give presentations a couple times per year.
• This would provide them with more listeners and readers, strengthen the Apple Community, and perhaps add to their advertising base.

Apple CarPlay

• Easy and safe way to be more productive
• Listen to podcasts instead of music (learn stuff)
• Send and receive phone calls and texts
• Bluetooth Apple CarPlay is not needed, wired is better

Check the Apple Security Updates page to see if your Apple gear is up to date.
