Joining a user group is one of the best ways of learning about your computer and sharing what you have learned.
The following Directory of User Groups ranges from groups that have been established for some time (shown by club name) to groups just getting underway (usually indicated by “area:”). Some groups are special interest groups (SIG) within larger computer clubs. Many groups have chosen a name which can be used to make an acronym.
The groups fall into three categories: Groups in the US; Groups outside the US; Topical Groups.
The states and countries are given in alphabetical order. Within the states the groups are arranged in ZIP order.
The name and address of the contact person follows the club name or area. The telephone numbers given are usually for the contact person and calling times are indicated as: (d): day; (e): evening; (h): home; (w) work. NL following the contact indicates that the group publishes a newsletter with the name in italics. The area served by a group is given next if the area is not clear from the group name.
In most cases the groups have modest dues which usually include the cost of the newsletter if any.
If you want to contact a group in your area, either call the number listed or write a letter to the address. All the groups will appreciate the courtesy of a self-addressed, stamped envelope (the long size) since they do not have secretaries or unlimited budgets for postage. In general an SASE will get you a quicker reply.
