"On November 17th, Macintosh User Groups made sure the rumblings heard from the Great Northwest were not just from erupting volcanoes or the ripples and floods of constant rainfall. No, these rumblings were generated by 2 states and its MUGs rubbing playfully against each other in their own version of plate tech-tonics. The "rumbling" consisted of laughs, Apple and Mac trivia, quick (or sometimes slow) wit, and a day full of Mac users having what appeared strikingly like an annual family reunion. This was "You Donit Know Mac!" 2001 -- the 3rd annual Oregon statewide user group celebration and trivia event." See pictures and the complete story on the "You Donit Know Mac" web site.
