Last night, I attended the 175th monthly meeting
of the Amiga Users of
Calgary. That didn't seem like much until I did the math; that's 14.5 years
of meetings (!), and probably more given that for the past few years
they've taken two of the summer months off. It got me wondering which users
group holds the record for longest continuous operation, where members
actually attend meetings at a regular interval. I know that the Toronto PET
Users Group, which is still active, has been running since 1978.
Interestingly, their Website (http://www.icomm.ca/tpug/) says they're the
_second_ oldest Commodore club.
Impressive!
I thought this might make a fun thread. So
who's older? Are there any older
clubs still active? And isn't it sad that Wintel computers are so generic
and boring that people don't form user's groups anymore?
DECUS?
