Need Help with your Mac Problems
Sometimes you just cannot wait until a MAGIC meeting to try and solve a problem and need to find a "wizard" on Whidbey Island. Here is a page with some suggestions.
Are you a complete beginner?
If you're new to computers or simply need a refresher course on how to get the most out of your Mac, then you need Mac 101: Your guide to using a Mac effectively and efficiently. Whether you want to learn how to get around your Mac desktop (or find out what a desktop is, for that matter); figure out how to connect your printer, iPod, digital camera, or other device; discover email and the Internet; learn how to do various tasks; learn how to use the software that came with your Mac; or even find out what to do when things don't go as planned; this is the place with the the answers. Click on the image below to go to Mac 101 at the Apple site.
Apple also provides a set of tutorials on most of their software. Check them out starting at this page.
The MAGIC MacBook and/or projector (with screen) are available for members use
If you would like to use either device for a small fee, please contact the president at

Donating and Recycling
There are many ways to dispose of your old computer equipment that are environmentally acceptable. MAGIC offers the chance to swap, sell, and buy equipment with other members - see the Swap Page of this site. Island Recycling in Freeland and Coupeville will accept all electronic equipment for recycling for a modest fee (about $10 per pound) - they can be contacted at (360) 331-1727.
Otherwise here is a site which describes all the alternatives that are available for donating and recycling computer equipment.
