Here are links of Special Features by and for SMUG members. We have reviews of books and software. We have digital pictures taken by our members, and special tutorials on digital imagery by Tom Roberts and Francine Schwieder. We hope this material is entertaining and useful. If you would like to contribute something to these pages, please contact the Madame Webmaster, francine at her PinkMutant domain, or come to a SMUG meeting and discuss your idea.
O'Reilly Books has been giving the club free review copies of a number of the Macintosh titles that they publish. As a result our intrepid reviewers have said their piece about these books, and are sharing their views in our email newsletter. All are collected here for everyone to read. It would be nice if you were inspired to purchase any of the books from O'Reilly that interest you. After all, they're helping us! Their web site now has a lot of Mac support and information.
