Capital PC User Group . . . Users Helping Users

The Capital PC User Group, Inc. (CPCUG) is a nonprofit,all volunteer
educational and support organization for users ofthe IBM PC and compatible
microcomputers. Established in 1982, the CPCUG has grown from less than 50
members to about 5,000 personal computer users around the world. Our main
goal is to provide a forum for PC users -- from novice to expert -- to share
their knowledge and experiences with other members and the general public.

*******************************************************************

Monthly Meetings --- Join Us!

o Where do I start if I want to buy a microcomputer?
o What's new in databases?
o Which word processing software, spreadsheet, accounting
package, utility program, etc. will work for me?
o How can I make my PC run faster?
o What's the best way to add more memory, run more
applications?

The best answers to questions about PCs come from users who are excited about
the new and growing power of the microcomputer. And that's who you will meet
if you join us at our monthly meetings. Imagine having top professionals from
almost every arena of this constantly changing field ready and willing to
share their expertise with you!

Of course not all our members are experts; many new users come to the meetings
to get an unbiased view of the array of computers, software, and computer
products available in the market, and to make educated decisions about what
will fit their needs and budgets.

Once a month the Capital PC User Group meets to answer questions, exchange
information, learn from experts in the field and explore the continuing and
exciting advances in microcomputer software and hardware.

Open to the public, the CPCUG meetings are held in the facilities of the
Masur Auditorium, first floor of the Clinical Center, (Building 10) at the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, Maryland. The main entrance
is on Center Drive; an underground parking lot is located off Memorial Drive.

The format for each meeting is:

6 p.m. Membership registration, Software Library disk sales and information.

7 p.m. Question/answer period during which a panel of experts fields
questions from the assembled audience on a wide variety of computer
subjects.

8 p.m. General Meeting Program. All other activities close.

9 p.m. Meeting officially closes.

Call (301) 762-9372 for more information and the current meeting schedule.

The Capital PC Monitor --- Our Monthly Magazine

The Capital PC Monitor, free to members, contains a wealth of information,
practical tips and hot industry news. Regular features include reviews of
software and hardware products, legislative and business news, special
interest group notes, editorials, and columns addressing a variety of personal
computing issues.

****************************************************************

Software Library

The Capital PC User Group Software Library offers a large and growing number
of the best public domain and shareware software programs available today.
These programs are the cream of the crop -- each has been tested and evaluated
by user group members. Software available includes word processors, databases,
spreadsheets, utilities, disk managers, and communications packages. All
Software Library programs are available on diskette (for a nominal charge) at
the monthly meetings, Saturday seminars, or by mail. Much of the software can
also be downloaded from the user group bulletin board. There's no easier or
safer way to add to your own software library -- so don't miss out!

****************************************************************

Promoting Users' Rights

The Capital PC User Group (CPCUG) is a leading advocate of users rights.
The CPCUG has spearheaded efforts for ongoing dialogues with software and
hardware vendors in order to address quality, warranty, and copy protection
issues. Our group has a forceful voice in national issues and legislation
that affect PC users.

We are concerned about the rights of microcomputer owners and end users of
software, and believe that is it essential to promote communication among
users, vendors, and producers of computers and computer-related products.

****************************************************************

Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

Wouldn't you like to sit down with a group of PC users who are working with
the same software, the same hardware, or even the same set of problems you
are working with to share solutions, deal with frustrations and get a scoop
on technical advancements?

The network of more than 30 special interest groups (SIGs) within the
Capital PC User Group focus on many different facets of the personal
computing field. Smaller group size, common interests, and relevant
experiences of SIG members generates more in-depth discussion and
problem-solving than in the general meeting.

*****************************************************************

Electronic Bulletin Board--- Keep in Touch

If you own or have access to a PC and a modem, you can connect with a free
source of information and advice -- out electronic Bulletin Board System.

The Capital PC User Group operates a BBS, the Member Information Exchange
(MIX) that serve as an extension of the monthly meetings; members share
technical expertise and practical experiences. You can find information
on the best prices and vendors for a particular product, get help with a
software or hardware dilemma, or exchange advanced computer language
programming. Questions and comments from any user -- from beginner to PC
wizard -- are always welcome, and are promptly answered.

*****************************************************************

Help Line

Need help with a computer or software problem? With the Capital PC User Group
Help Line your solution may be only a phone call away. The Help Line is a list
of members who have volunteered to provide phone assistance in their areas of
expertise. Help Line lists are published in the Monitor (the monthly user group
publication), and are available on our member bulletin board system. Users
helping users -- this invaluable service is a perfect example of what our
group is all about.

****************************************************************

Free Education Seminars

The Capital PC User Group conducts free public training and education seminars
on a wide range of personal computer topics. Experts in the field offer

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
