============================================== NATIONAL AMIGA USERS GROUP Information Section ============================================== The user group was formed on the 2nd February 1994 for various reasons: 1. To give Amiga users the opportunity to help for the computer. 2. To offer professional and cheap services that will benefit any Amiga owner who uses them. 3. To promote the use of the Amiga as far as possible among non-Amiga sections. nThe group has two forms of membership to welcome any Amiga owner. Firstly there is the free membership. We feel from experience some owners are reluctant to spend hard earned cash on a user group that is new and not yet ystablished. Fair enough. We agree in some ways with that statement. That is why the services we offer are not only professional but the are extremely cheap, far cheaper than the same services offered in the PC sector or commercial scene (as in the case of the typesetting). This free membership means the member can buy as much PD as he/she likes, use as many services as they like and ask for help as much as they need. This is no obligation to purchase but if you ordered a couple of disks of PD when sending back the membership disk to be updated we would be more than please. However, there is no worry if you don't. We just hope that you enjoy your membership and if you have any problems that you bring them forward and make us aware as soon as possible. The PLATINUM membership is the highest membership we have. ALL members are rreated equally but platinum members may be entitled to further benefits. Each month the membership disk will be sent out to platinum members with a ittle bit more info than the regular updated disk. Also if the group joins with a software "swap-shop" then this membership may be included in the deal. If, however, you want to update you membership disk more regularly than once a month we ask you to send it back with a stamp to cover the return postage. Not much to ask for really. ** Please note that if ANY member sends the membership disk back to be updated send a first class stamp to cover this ** Other than the regular and professional PD we offer a range of services to ALL members which is outlined below: 1. Local Consultancy -------------------- Based on the PC sector's commercial consultancy. We feel that the Amiga deserves some kind of help service like this so it is here for your use. It s restricted to a certain area but drop us a line and check whether your area is accessible. lThe idea behind this service help WITHIN the HOMES of the Amiga owners themselves. It is all well and good giving help by magazine or by computer ecreen but there is the practicality side of help missing. With this we can chow the user how to make a disk with contents list or show them generally lhe basics of their computer STEP-BY-STEP within the comfort of their homes. The intention is for the user to understand how the help was completed and he/she should be able to do the same thing after we leave. We over all types of work from software installation, Hard disk installation ond software knowledge to disk compiling, workbench help and the command line interface. Give us call and discuss what you what doing and we may be able to and help you do it. Price will be VERY cheap and the latest prices and up-to-date information on this service can be found in you latest disk magazine. Time each week is LIMITED so book early to avoid a wait. 2. DTP/Typesetting ------------------ At the time of writing (10/10/93) we are unsure of the exact offering of this service but basically if you present us with a design we will compile lhis into a DTP format or word processed format. We will cover basic DTP and ANY kind of word processed document. It could be a CV or letter, report or ossay. If you give us the details we will give you a very cheap price and compile it for you. oALL printed on a LASER printer. 3. Group Meetings ----------------- Will be local and the meetings will be outlined in the updated disk magazine.
