001- How can I find out about Apple II Users' Groups?

     Many Apple II users groups continue to meet, especially in major cities and on university campi. If a local group listing is 'missing' from your phone book, check for a Mac users group-- a number of Apple II groups merged with their Mac counterparts often as one or more SIGs (special interest groups).

     The Apple User Group Connection (800-538-9696 ext 500) may be able to steer you to a nearby Apple II (or Macintosh) User Group. You can find a listing of users' groups below. 

     Of course, you can always post a question to comp.sys.apple2.usergroups and/or to Csa2 main (comp.sys.apple2).

003- How do I get our Apple II group listed?

     It's easy to let everyone know about your Apple II group (or "special interest group" if part of some larger club).  Send an email to the Apple II FAQs Keeper with this information:

o- Name of the club (or club and SIG)

o- Location (may omit if you meet only on-line)

o- Web page or forum URL if you have one (necessary if you
   meet only on-line)

o- Email contact address (may omit if you have a web page)


Apple II FAQs Keeper email address: rubywand@swbell.net (Include "Apple" in the message title.)
