2005 Cap-A-Dillo Awards

About CapMac

As Capitol Macintosh celebrates our twelfth anniversary we decided to recognize our local people, businesses and services that go out of their way to promote and support Austin's Macintosh community.

All CapMac members received a ballot via email to vote in each of ten categories. The businesses and services that won were recognized at our July general meeting with grateful applause and presented a framed certificate (see pictures in our July newsletter). Be sure to congratulate and thank them for helping make the Austin Macintosh community so great!
