Newsletter
ACTApple delivers a newsletter to members for 11 months of the year. Our newsletter contains information about ACTApple's activities, software releases and current updates for the Mac, technical tips and hints, free member ads, hardware, software and book reviews from other members and the internet.
Software CD-ROM
New members of ACTApple receive the club CD-ROM for free! This great collection of over 600Mb of the latest utilities, internet software, games, shareware and more will be yours when you join. The CD gets updated at least once a year to keep up to date with the latest free and shareware software that’s available, and is also available to existing club members for the bargain price of $10.Training
ACTApple has recently begun to work on free and fee-based training courses for its members. We're in the early stages of this, but are hoping to be able to start delivering on this exciting new service in the first half of 2008!Annual auction
Members have been enjoying ACTApple's Xmas auction for many years. Using donated hardware, software, books, games etc., the auction is a great place to pick up an unbelievable bargain.
Internet 'members only' area
A recent innovation is a 'members only' secured area on this internet site. This area contains over 6 years of ACTApple newsletters, book reviews, hints and tips, common questions and answers, and access to join the club email groups.
General help email group
All members are able to participate in our general help email group. This virtual community enables members to simply put their question in an email and click 'send'. All other recipients will get the question, and answers often come back within an hour.Screen saver
ACTApple has a great screen saver of over 100 unique photos of Canberra and surrounds, available for Classic and OS-X systems, for just $10.Hardware
We have selected hardware available for members to borrow or hire. Occasionally the club has equipment donated, and makes this equipment available to members who need a short-term backup machine etc.Special interest Groups (SIG's)
One of the unique features of user groups all over Australia is the Special Interest Group. This is a smaller group within the larger club with a specific focus such as programming, digital photography, movie making etc. In addition to dedicated pages on this website, our SIG's have their own email groups to improve their communication.Discounts
Occasionally the group is able to use purchasing power to negotiate discounts on items such as flash-memory sticks, modems, hard drives, books etc., and pass those savings onto members.
