The BGAMUG Computer club

Join the BGAMUG Computer Club - or another one near you...

Our club name...

The actual full name of the BGAMUG Computer Club is the Bowling Green Area Microcomputer User's Group.

It hearkens back to the early days of computer use. There still are many User Groups all around the country.

The APCUG group is the Association of Personal Computer User Groups. You can use their Group Locator Service to find a group near you to join.

These are mostly local groups that get together to learn more about computing and also have fun.

If you live in the Bowling Green, Kentucky area, you are free to come as a guest to our meeting.

Find out more at our website, The Bowling Green BGAMUG Computer Club.

Here are some websites I found that list some Computer User groups:

User Groups in the US (the User RSVP site)
User Groups around the world (on Wikipedia)
User Groups on the Yahoo Directory list
User Groups on JobCircle (just a few states are here)
Ash Nallawalla's old list of groups (better than the new one)
Cyndi's List of computer genealogy groups and computer groups
User groups on DMOZ
And for fun, here is the HAL-PC group in Texas. (The Houston Area League of PC Users). They are the largest PC User Group in the country or maybe the world.

Later!

A funny computer poem for people over 30...

Can you remember when?

A font head for an IBM Selectric? Looks familiar.

 Here is a fun computer poem all over the internet. I have not found the original author yet, but I did look.

Everyone is putting it on as "author unknown" but I know you're out there, author!

Anyway, here it is:

A Poem for Computer Users Over 30

Remember When...

A computer was something on TV
From a science fiction show of note.
A window was something you hated to clean
And ram was the cousin of a goat.

Meg was the name of my girlfriend
And gig was a job for the night.
Now they all mean different things
And that really mega bytes.

An application was for employment,
A program was a TV show.
A cursor used profanity,
A keyboard was a piano.

Compress was something you did to the garbage,
Not something you did to a file.
And if you unzipped anything in public,
You'd be in jail for awhile.

Log on meant adding wood to the fire,
Hard drive was a long trip on the road.
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived,
And a back-up happened to your commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife,
Paste you did with glue.
A web was a spider's home,
And a virus was the flu.

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper,
And the memory in my head.
I hear no one's been killed in a computer crash,
But when it happens, they wish they were dead.

-Author unknown (for now!)
