Welcome to Nashville Mac Users, a support group for fans of Apple’s Macintosh!
A slightly altered photo from December captures the congenial feel of the discussion, which ranged from

Quote of the month
The future of home-based internet connections lies with your cellphone provider. Once 4G (and then 5G) networks catch up to the speeds offered by cable and DSL providers, we'll cut the home internet connection just like we've cut the telephone land line in favor of the cellphone. (wired.com)
Quote of the year?
None of our men are "experts." We have most unfortunately
found it
necessary to get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an expert
because no one ever considers himself expert if he really knows his
job. A man who knows a job sees so much more to be done than he has
done, that he is always pressing forward and never gives up an
instant of thought to how good and how efficient he is. Thinking
always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings a state
of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one gets into the
"expert" state of mind a great number of things become impossible. - Henry Ford, Sr.
