Macworld: Editors’ Notes: My day at camp

Last Saturday, I spent the day at camp–MacCamp, to be precise. For the last 20-plus years, the Portland Macintosh Users Group (PMUG) has held these twice-yearly escapes for Mac devotees. Held at the very scenic Silver Falls State Park, MacCamp offers Mac users a three-day-long Mac-focused retreat from urban life. PMUG reserves four lodges (cabins) at the conference center within the park, accommodating up to 56 “campers,” though this isn’t camping in any traditional sense. The cabins contain most of the comforts of home, with the exception of an Internet connection. PMUG charges just enough to cover its costs, and doesn’t turn a profit on the event… What a great atmosphere for a meeting between fellow Mac users. Congrats, PMUG, on yet another successful MacCamp hopefully I’ll be back for the full experience next spring.

Once again it looks as though MacCamp is a success. If you enjoy Macintosh computers and the company of other Mac users maybe you should join the Portland Macintosh Users Group next time around.

late,
Gary
