Email Mailing Lists

iMug's hub is its email Discussion list that is exclusive to members where there is a free exchange of knowledge, ideas, help, news and even some laughs. In addition, iMug hosts a FileMaker mailing list and a Macs and Graphics (MAG) mailing list.

Monthly Meetings

Members and guests can attend a variety of monthly meetings:

iMug monthly meetings—Demonstrations from software and hardware representatives and presentations from members and guests on a broad range of topics.

FileMaker Developers Group—The popular database program FileMaker Pro is the exclusive focus of this group, which also has its own mailing list.

Macintosh MultiMedia Group—All things multimedia are encompassed by this group, from getting started with iMovie to professional sound and video recording. Meetings are held in conjunction with the Apple Users Society of Melbourne.

See our Upcoming Meetings and Events page for details.

iMug's History

iMug started life as VMUG—the Victorian Macintosh User Group. As the internet became the focus everywhere for doing business, communicating and seeking answers, VMUG decided to move to an internet-based club and change its name to iMug—the Internet Macintosh User Group.

At that time our popular monthly magazine VMUG News, distributed to members and sold at newsagents, ceased production and so reflected our move to the internet as a means of communication and source of information.
