Apple&Mac Users please check this out
Hi all,
We are starting a Group which called Qatar ِApple User Group, QAUG.
QAUG is a non-profit Apple User Group, which was created to support Mac users in Qatar community that can offer help and support, and nice place to get together with like-minded users.
We are on the process to begin of registering QAUG as an Apple User Group in Apple Computer Inc. in California, USA.
The User Group's ultimate aims are:
To establish and operate a community of users of Apple products in general and Mac computers in particular, that offers help and support to each other.
To offer this help and support both online through a web site and offline at meetings and other activities.
To educate the larger market about the benefits of Apple products in the hope of making some customers switch to Apple.
To help alleviate misinformation and miscommunication in the marketplace.
The main reason for starting QAUG was a feeling that there was a need for more information about Apple, Mac, and iPod and related issues in Qatar. We realized there is a dedicated but largely silent Apple-community in Qatar and we wanted to offer them a platform where they could meet each other, help each other out with problems, and to education people about the benefits of Macs and iPods.
So people who would like to join please PM me so I can let you know when the nexr meeting is going be>>> which will be very soon......
Best to you all,
Khalid

Hello, guys! I've noticed that the posts here are quite old. Anyway...
Good day, shahbic! Good day to all! I am very much interested to join (and/or even start) this Qatar Apple Users Group. I am an iPod user (from a Nano 1GB to a Classic 80GB) and a Mac user (both iBook G4 Tiger 14" SuperDrive and MacBook Leopard), and obviously an Apple fanatic/freak! I am also a member of the Philippine Macintosh Users Group (http://www.philmug.ph) and PodCentral - For the Filipino iPod Community (http://www.podcentral.ph), and several other tech users group in my country.
FOR ANY UPDATES AND DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE FOUNDING/ESTABLISHING OF THIS GROUP, YOU CAN CONTACT ME THROUGH (+974)652-2069.
[By the way, I have just signed-up with Qatar Living, and this topic is the main reason I joined!]

I just gotta email about the new platform...where can I go check it out...the leopard that is...
jonathandsouza26 I have seen a video demonstration of the leopard desktop, it was fantastic, I am looking forward to test it. specially I liked this feature where you can see perview of all the files and also the quickview where you can see the file instantly without opening its application.

I had downloaded the beta version since almost a month now. I have the Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 9A499 Build and 10.5 9A466 Build. They are both .dmg file but i just couldn't install them. Its quite a lengthy procedure and i really didn't have the patience. Hopefully i could get some help in the first meeting.

Thanks you all for ur replays,
about installing the new leopard, you can do unpgrade with no problem but the main thing is, some of the application would not function as they don't support the new OS......
so you have at least wating for the software company to do an upgrade so you can use it with Leopard or you can duel boot and install both on the same HD and try to test it before you do the big move.........
Hi,
I have OS X 10.4 and would like to install 10.5 once its released.
What i wanted to know was, could i do an upgrade keeping all my applications and files intact or would i have to format and do a fresh installation...
thanks...

Great khaled!
It's a very nice idea, and we'll support you as we are the Apple representant in Qatar.As you know the Apple awarness is low in Qatar and we're trying to increase it and hope that we'll succeed in it.As a start we worked hardely to get the best Apple technicians to Qatar to provide a professional support and to stop the servicing problem.And as a first support to your project all the members of your group will have a special discount from our company (Ali bin Ali Technology solutions).
