The official newsletter of SJAUG

Published monthly, a PDF file of the newsletter is emailed to all members in good standing. The Candy Apple is a collection of news, articles, tips, reviews and other items relating mainly to Apple computers. There is also a section for Q & A – send your questions – we'll do our best to find answers!

Contributions for the newsletter are welcomed and encouraged. Email to carol@sjaug.org. Send your file, preferably in TextEdit, along with any accompanying graphic files – .jpgs are preferred. Use the handy outline below to create your article.

Type it into TextEdit or directly into the email message window just as if you were writing a letter. Just tell your story – it does not have to be technical.

Helpful guidelines :
Length: One page is a good length, about 1000 words. Include pictures, if you can.

Explain about the item: Product name, vendor’s web address, system requirements, OS, processor speed, min. RAM needed, price. If it’s a book, list title, author, publisher, number of pages, mention illustrations, size of the book, binding, if CD included, etc.

How would you rate it? Tell about the product’s strengths & weaknesses.
Rate it: 1 (Poor) to 10 (Excellent), or use the 1 to 5 "Apples" scale.

Software or hardware: Packaging, price, sound, QuickTime, color, manual, support, graphics, ease of installation, system requirements, etc.

Include your name and a photo of yourself, if you’d like – a 640 x 480 .jpg, if possible.

If you need help or have questions, we will be glad to help you get started. Email your questions or completed review to carol@sjaug.org.
