Low End Mac’s Online Groups

Share

Low End Mac has put the focus on getting the most out of older Macs since we launched on April 7, 1997. We launched our first email groups later in the year, and we later migrated all of them to Google Groups, which lets you subscribe to email or read postings online.

With the move to WordPress, we’re setting up our own forums here at lowendmac.com, but we’re going to keep Google Groups going as well for those who prefer that format.

Be sure to read our guide to netiquette before posting to any group.
