Computer User Groups

If you've never physically attended a computer user group meeting you should find one and attend it. At a good meeting you will find users with varying interests. There are hardware types and software types; system administrators and game programmers. Most meetings I have attended at the Chicago Computer Society have friendly and knowledgeable people more than willing to advise and teach folks how to use their computers more effectively. I've written an article on the topic with links to resources for finding a computer user group near you. The article is titled: Offline Computer Groups. http://computeraccessories.suite101.com/article.cfm/offline_computer_groups
