USERS GROUPS
Commodore users groups
Before the internet, the users group was where you learned. Once a month people carried their machines to a library or a school cafeteria, swapped disks, showed off a new program and passed the newsletter around. A lot of them never stopped meeting.
OUR OWN USERS GROUP
CUG, the Commodore Users Group
petscii.nw's own, run the old way: local chapters that meet in person, with the board as the clubhouse between meetings. Commodore only. Join on the board with J; your ZIP or country puts you in your local chapter.
26 groups in 11 countries, each seen meeting within the last year or so.
