Users Groups
 |
The Milwaukee Area IBM-PC Users Group
promotes and facilitates the use of personal computers. Our members own IBM or
compatible machines and we have collectively gained a great deal of expertise.
We are usually able to offer solutions to the quandaries of other users. We all
try to be of assistance to any other member with a problem.

M.A.C.E. was
founded in 1983 as a Commodore user group and has recently changed its name to
reflect the fact that many of its members have gone on to use other platforms.
We still retain affection for the Commodore and Amiga computers and will
continue to support new users who wish to learn how to make the best use of
these computers. To this end, we hold monthly meetings, publish The Monitor
Newsletter monthly, maintain a public domain library of disks for both the
Amiga and C-64/128 computers, and hold a variety of SIG (Special Interest Group)
meetings. |

The
Milwaukee Home Users Group (MHUG) is a
nonprofit club for people interested in personal computers. The club was
originally organized in 1978 as the Milwaukee Heath Users Group to foster
interest in the early family of Heathkit Computers. Eventually, the Heath
Company merged with Zenith. As technology progressed their product line evolved
to finally encompass a line of PC compatibles. Over the years the club stayed
abreast of the advances in the Heath/Zenith computers. While there are still a
few members who still own some of their earlier Heath computers, the club has
evolved into a PC user group following the latest technologies in the computer
hardware and software. To reflect the new interests of the club the name was
changed a few years ago to the Milwaukee Home Users Group. MHUG meets on the 3rd
Saturdays at 1 p.m. For more information, contact Jerry Lent at (414) 421-4214
or Carl Pluckhan at (414) 425-6071 |

| The primary
focus of the group is on the Microsoft Visual
Studio tools for Windows development, including Visual Basic, C#, Visual
FoxPro, SQL Server, .NET Framework, Transaction Server, and Visual SourceSafe.
However, we also do discuss other tools that use Visual Basic, e.g. Access,
Excel, Visual Basic Script, and other topics related to Windows development. Our
group contains both individuals who use the Visual Studio tools in their
profession and those who are using them in a hobby capacity at home. The
interests of the group vary from business system development, to database
development, to writing utilities, to writing games and multimedia applications
and everywhere in-between. The group meets on the 4th Tuesday of every month in
the Brookfield Library. |
