Hello. This is an announcement for all of you who use Macintosh computers. It has appeared before, but it is NOT an "ad." The History and Macintosh Society is a non-profit, academic group. Please don't consider this junk mail. The History and Macintosh Society (HMS) is an international user group for academics using Macintosh equipment in the research, writing, and teaching. HMS's purpose is to provide information and advice to Macintosh users of all skills levels, particularly beginning and middle-level users, on computer concerns to members of the academic world, such as word processing, note compilation, database creation and management, and desktop publishing. "History" is very broadly defined. Our members represent all disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and many members from the physical and biological sciences as well. HMS distributes a quarterly newsletter accompanied by a disk of shareware, with an emphasis on those programs designed for educational and scholarly use. The group is Apple-registered, which insures continued support, receipt of system updates, news, and shareware. Members are encouraged to share shareware with HMS, write articles and reviews for the quarterly newsletter, and form HMS subgroups in their own areas. Dues are $15 per year. Foreign members pay no extra for air mail, but please submit dues in US funds. For further information, request an electronic copy of the most recent newsletter from this electronic address ([log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]). To join, please send your dues to: HMS 734 Elkus Walk #201 Goleta, CA 93117-4151 USA The HMS founder, Joe Coohill, may be reached at [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] He may also be contacted during the day (US Pacific time) at [log in to unmask]
