Nearing End of Holiday Season
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday. We stayed near home this year and enjoyed the holidays with our daughter’s family. We are looking forward to the new year and hope for a better nation and a peaceful world in the coming months. May you and yours have a great new year.
Closing my Business This Year
As promised, I am closing User Group Relations the end of 2024 after a career of 62 years. Linda and I have gotten to know all of you as friends over the years. We will miss our contact with you as we end our newsletter and shut down our website. We hope you will add our email addresses to your address books and drop us a note from time to time. We think of you often and want to stay in touch.
Purchased Last Inventory from Acronis Today
We still have a few more days this year to offer you our discount prices on Acronis True Image products, so we made one last purchase of inventory from Acronis to cover this period. We don’t want to overstock our needs, so we limited this order just to Acronis True Image Advanced with 50GB internet storage, the product I recommend. We also still have a few other versions of True Image, all at 50% discounts. I noticed that we have True Image Advanced with 500GB internet storage at 75% off. These are super bargains for someone with 3 or 5 computers to support. These won’t last long, so check them out quickly and get your outstanding deal.
Website to Close April 11, 2025
As it turns out, our website was paid up until April 11, 2025. So, it doesn’t make sense to close it December 31, 2024. So, I will leave it up until Aprill 11, 2025. I have indicated on the website in the description of each product how many items I have left. When I sell all the inventory I have of a True Image product, I will remove it from the website. Any I have left on April 11, 2025, I will use on our 3 computers in future years. The other key purpose of leaving the website running is to keep a connection open between us. I will use the Home page to write any news I want to send you. So, check it once a month to see any news from me. I am working on getting my email addresses extended after April 11, 2025. So, that information will be posted on my website’s home page.
Email Contacts to Use
Right now, you can use the following email addresses to send messages to us:
Gene Barlow – gene@ugr7.com OR egenebarlow@gmail.com
Linda Barlow – linda@ugr7.com
Put these in your address books and drop us a note occasionally.
In Summary
Move Quickly to order any products you need. Once I am out of what I currently have, I cannot order any more. I expect the remaining products to go very soon.
Check my website each month for the latest news. The website ends April 11, 2025.
Put my email address in your address book. Stay in touch. Bye

Take Control Books
About Take Control Books – Apple and Windows eBooks
Use the form at https://apcug2.org/contact-us/
Subject – General
Body of form – Name of your computer club and discount code
Take Control was started in 2003 by the husband-and-wife team Adam and Tonya Engst. By the time they began Take Control, they had authored or edited more than 25 traditional books and written hundreds of magazine articles for major Mac magazines. And they’d spent the last 15 years gaining experience in internet publishing with TidBITS, a website and weekly email newsletter about Apple and internet topics. These experiences helped them develop the Take Control model, which results in highly practical ebooks that cover much more detail than a magazine article but that are shorter, more focused, and more timely than a typical printed book.
In May 2017, Adam and Tonya sold the Take Control series to alt concepts, inc.—a company run by the most prolific Take Control author, Joe Kissell. Along with his wife, Morgen Jahnke, Joe has continued to expand the Take Control series while maintaining the essential ingredients that made it successful from the very beginning.
Although Joe still occasionally writes Take Control books (and serves as the Editor in Chief for the series), most of our titles are written and edited by other well-known tech experts, such as Andy Affleck, Caroline Rose, Glenn Fleishman, Jason Snell, Jeff Carlson, Jeff Porten, Josh Centers, Kelly Turner, Kirk McElhearn, Michael E. Cohen, Robyn Weisman, Scholle McFarland, and Sharon Zardetto.
Joe and Morgen live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada with their two sons and their cat. They previously lived in San Diego.
