SALISBURY, MD--A newly formed Delmarva Slice Macintosh Users Group is now accepting members. Originating from Salisbury State University--in partnership with Washington Apple Pi, a 23-year-old, 6,000 member Apple-authorized users group based in Rockville, MD--the new group is the only users group recognized by Apple Computer on the Delmarva Peninsula.

The Slice is open to anyone in the Delmarva community who uses a Macintosh computer at home, work or school. The group’s aim is to become a community resource for learning anything about the Macintosh computing environment (software and hardware).

"Even if you don’t use a Mac, but are interested in learning more, come join us at our monthly meetings, held the first Saturday of each month at 10 a.m.," said Shelley Wetzel, SÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Webmaster and Slice president. Meetings will initially be held at SÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ but will be at other community locations later.

Monthly meetings will consist of presentations, software/hardware demonstrations, answers to Mac questions, updated news and events of the group and social activities.

Since Apple has had strong market share for many years with K-12 schools and higher education, teachers are especially encouraged to join.

A minimal membership fee (with a different fee structure for students, individuals, groups and families) entitles members to technical and software assistance with Q and A sessions at the once a month meetings; monthly software and hardware demonstrations at beginning and intermediate level; workshops; teleconferencing using quick camcorders to get pictures; information on Apple Pi sales and Washington, D.C. meetings; Mac vendor information; current Web pages with updates; membership cards; and T-shirt.
