HMAUS Signal 30 years of helping people with technology

At yesterday’s appearance on the Bytemarks Cafe radio program HMAUS president Terrence Young declares “I am not a Geek” in response to a question from co-host Ryan Ozawa about the kinds of people who belong to user groups. This an apparent faux-pas as fellow HMAUS member Rick “Wolfman” Gass sat beside him in the studio proudly wearing a t-shirt boldly emblazoned with the words “Mac geek” across the front.

Burt Lum and Ryan invited Young and Gass to the Bytemarks Cafe radio program to talk about the upcoming Mac Springfest. Other guests include two gentlemen from Coral Cross who talked about pandemic preparedness using alternate reality gaming technology.
