MILO - Mac User Group

If you are using Mac computers in your law firm and haven't found MILO ― keep reading.

MILO is the Mac In Law Offices group on Google Groups. From the Web site, "MILO is a place for attorneys and other professionals to learn and share information to more effectively use Macs in law offices. We encourage open discussions, and we welcome your constructive input . . ."

With 1,862 members all interested in the Macs in law firms, membership in this group can only be a good thing. One of the best aspects of the group is the option to receive posts in a journal e-mail, which compiles topics for the day into a single e-mail. (This is an option you need to select when you join.)  

Recent threads include these topics:

• Setting up new office;
• BeeDocs 3D Timeline - Tips;
• Software recommendations for new attorney's office;
• MacPhone home;
• Adobe portfolio; and
• Dead PowerBook worth fixing?

If you are a lawyer and use a Mac or want to use a Mac this group is for you.
