We are holding a MUGS (Mac User Group Singapore) meet up this coming Wednesday evening, the first in three years.
Other than myself, there might not be anyone else attending.
In the last three years, while raw numbers of Mac and iOS users have just exploded, the close-knitted Mac community some of us valued over the years have literally vanished at the same time.
The Facebook event list literally has myself as the only one listed as attending.
This event is not restricted to MUGS members, and is open to anyone who fancy themselves as die-hard Mac/iOS users. There isn’t even proper membership for MUGS in the first place (there used to be, but that was a long, long, long time ago).
If you are interested in meeting up, or if you are only interested in walking by and looking at pathetic me sitting at the meet up venue alone, the details are;
MUGS Meetup 2013
Date: 29th May 2013
Time: 7pm to 9pm
Location: Funan the I.T. Mall food court
Will anyone turn up?
gone are the days where we sit around sharing. end up only you, roger, ming, BT, Aaron, molly,…..haha! no more like those days. Now its just iOS vs Android.
Special interest groups usually for niche market right? iOS has overshadowed OS X and made Apple mass market.. Still I remember learning some great folder-preview trick for OS X then 🙂
Yah well… What to do? Kinda sad.

We were once a small support community. Unfortunately, the the true mac faithful have been somewhat submerged by the avalanche of users that came with the iPhone/iPad. Happily some count among the faithful, many developed a new love affair, many are there for the ride, still others will jump ship as soon as the next S4 or whatever appears.
Nothing wrong with where we are – just no longer a small community with the personal touch.
Have joined Sgmac.net too
Can anyone repair MBP? I can’t turn on my 13″ MBP.
