MAUS Meeting – February 2013

Wednesday, February 20, 2013, 6:00 – 8:00 PM At Maui College (Laulima Rm. 211)

Topic: Type that for me please!

Voice Dictation has been around for a number of years now, but the issue has always been how fast and accurate the computer can transcribe what you are saying into text. Now we are seeing mobile devices being able to recognize our voice and transcribe what we are saying as well. Join us this month as we take a look at voice dictation and commands for your Mac and iOS devices. We will review Apple’s built in software as well as Dragon Dictate for Mac, and have a conversation with Siri.

Also we are kicking off our 2013 membership drive. Click over on right sidebar to pay and update your 2013 Maui Apple User Group Pro Membership dues. To see the benefits of a paid premiere membership click here.

MAUS Meeting – January 2013

Wednesday, January 16, 2013, 6:00 – 8:00 PM At Maui College (Laulima Rm. 211)

Topic: Passwords, Passwords, Oh What is that Password?

With the growth of us doing more on the internet, such as buying, banking, email, and social media, we have had to develop ways of logging into these services. We have to remember so many passwords, some with numbers, some with a capital letter, some we have to change every 60 days. Passwords are designed to keep our internet lives safe from others. No wonder we can never remember them all.

Join us this month as we review two pieces of software: LastPass and 1Password (members attending the meeting will receive a link to receive 25% off 1Password). We will also discuss ways to streamline your passwords, develop complex passwords, ways to prevent your online accounts from being compromised, and why computer passwords are important. As always we will save time for your Apple and Mac related questions after the meeting.
