The March Meeting for the A.P.P.L.E. User Group Meeting was held online with the meeting being brought to order by Bill Martens. The initial items on the agenda were the releases of the February and March issues of Call-A.P.P.L.E. It was announced that both of these issues would be posted the first week of April due to the size of the files, and the problems working from a laptop creates.

We started with VServers in Tukwilla,Wa. in 1997 where we would just call the server support guys out on the server farm and have problems with the machine fixed. That has changed with the latest change after the current provider took over Peer1 and basically began to insist on us paying fees that are not realistic. Thus…

We have been upgrading our servers here at A.P.P.L.E. in the hope of providing more resources and a faster server for our users. During our migration yesterday, we hit a snag with services on the primary server being pinged out so we decided to go ahead and do the migration by hand which will take a few days longer than planned. Stay tuned for more as we go through this upgrade.
In preparation for a major website overhaul and server upgrade, we have changed all of the categories on the website.

Sometimes the problem is not what to write about, but what not to write about. Such is the case this month when we have a large number of items to report. Our software library is first on the agenda. The library, along with the membership, has been growing by leaps and bounds. So much so that by the time a catalogue is issued, it is out of date. We will try to remedy this by listing new programs each month…
