We're a not-for-profit group that gives Mac users in Central Connecticut a place to meet, discuss and learn about the best personal computer -- Apple Macintosh.
We're Connecticut's largest Mac User Group, with roots dating back to 1984. Our gatherings take place on the last Wednesday of every month in Farmington. The all-volunteer board of CMC works hard to select meeting topics and special guests that will engage as many of our members as possible. CMC meetings start with discussion of news and topics of interest to Mac users and then we have "Q&A" where members help each other with computer issues. Then it's time for the main presentation or our special guest. Past guests include David Pogue, Andy Ihnatko and representatives of Mac-friendly companies like Wacom, Adobe, BareBones Software and many others.Our meetings are open to the public, so come and visit and see what we're all about. Please check out our newsletter, which is freely downloadable in PDF form (members receive a printed edition in their mailbox). If you have any further questions, please use the contact link to get in touch with us. |

CMC Presentation DVD Backup |
|
CMC member Deb Foss recently gave a Back To Basics presentation on making a backup copy of a DVD movie to your computer. This is handy for making sure you have a secondary copy of your valuable DVDs, as well as allowing you to view your movie on the go on your laptop (thus protecting the original DVD from being scratched, broken, or lost). Here are the slides from her presentation:  If you wish to download this PDF file, hold down the Option key on your Mac keyboard as you click on this picture. |
