The Washington Area Computer User Group is an all-volunteer Virginia membership corporation established in 1985 to further the use and understanding of computers. WACUG is an IRS-recognized, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, to which tax-deductible contributions may be made. Our Bylaws, other organizational documents, and Board of Directors Meeting Minutes are available for public review.

WAC holds monthly meetings and publishes a monthly newsletter, The Cursor.

Originally formed to support the venerable Commodore 64, WAC has expanded its scope over time to include the Amiga line of computers and IBM PC compatibles. We currently have active Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to support Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux operating systems. However, anyone is welcome to join, add expertise to the group, and sponsor new SIGs. We consider diversity to be our greatest strength since it allows us to address many problems other user groups can't handle. Porting data files from one system to another is an example. Here is where you get the one-on-one level of support that most vendors don't provide! Topics covered by our SIGs include Desktop Video, Desktop Publishing, Graphics and Animation, Music, Games, Telecommunications and the Internet, Financial and Tax Preparation software, CAD, hardware, and more!

Our Current Line-up of SIGs include:

• PC SIG - supports owners of IBM-PC compatibles with Microsoft DOS and Windows operating systems.
• GNU/Linux SIG - supports users of Unix and Unix-like operating systems.

Of course, none of this would happen without our Board of Directors, volunteers, and members. We invite you to join us!
