Congrats to the Greater Cleveland PC Users Group on their 20th anniversary. Many user groups, like the Cleveland group, were created after the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981. In those days and for many years after, the user group was one of the very few places where people who were interested in computers could meet and share with other interested people.
The user group philosophy of "Users helping Users" was first put into words by the Capital PC UG in Washington DC.
Later, the Association of Personal Computer User Groups would form as an umbrella group of user groups with the philosophy "User groups helping User groups."

The panel consisted of Joe Frolik, author of the PD Quiet Crisis series, Stacey Condon of Nortech, Ron Copfer of NEOSA, Lev Gonick the CIO of CWRU, Bill Callahan, interim director of Digital Vision and yours truly.
