The Macintosh User Group (Tex-MUG) is a non-profit organization associated with The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA). Tex-MUG is not affiliated with Apple Computer, Inc. or any other commercial enterprise. Individuals interested in using computers, especially Macintoshes, to further education in the health sciences and for self-improvement are encouraged to attend the meetings and special events. Some Tex-MUG activities require financial support and are wholly and independently supported through dues contributed by its members. For membership details please see 'Tex-MUG Membership'.
The purpose of the Tex-MUG organization is to provide educational assistance to faculty, students and staff members at UTHSCSA in the use of computer hardware, software and related products. Tex-MUG and UTHSCSA promote health care and health sciences education and research through computing.
Tex-MUG meetings are held on a regular basis; usually on the third Thursday of each month from 11:00A.M. - 1:00P.M. in room 2.040. Meetings start at 11:00A.M. with announcements, member discussions and then featured presentations. Q&A follows. UTHSCSA provides a lecture room for each of our meetings and other multi-media lecture halls for special events. Our regular meetings usually include a presentation featuring one or more guest speakers. Contributors to this session are often Apple Engineers who present the latest information on the Macintosh operating system, hardware and other software developments. Third party hardware and/or software representatives give some presentations. The forum for these meetings is flexible and often emphasizes the interests of the Tex-MUG members. Meetings and special events are open to all interested individuals with the exception of MacWorld downlink broadcasts, which are for members only. We are always open to suggestions – just contact any Tex-MUG officer or board member.
