beimac circle, which was initially begun on 02 March 2002 as the BeiMac Macintosh User Group and which has also been widely known as the Beijing Macintosh User Group, exists and there are no plans to reduce services. Quite the opposite, new and exciting developments for beimac circle are planned.

The last regular meeting of the previous Beijing Macintosh User Group was in late 2008. The beimac circle has met in autumn 2011. Owing to major changes in the Chinese Apple (Mac, iPod, iPhone and iPad) world, new directions are being charted for beimac circle. Initial plans are to redevelop it as a Beijing-based international Apple product user community, with plans to first serve an international audience, based both overseas and in China, and then to build it back into the local Apple environment.

The policies of beimac circle has remained largely the same as the groups that preceded it. We are interested in helping Apple grow healthily in Greater China, and we are also interested in linking Apple product users in China. Specific information about the further course of the development of beimac circle will follow before the end of this month. There are plans for an online meeting later this month.

Rest assured — our next meeting at the beimac circle is very soon!
