ABOUT TPCUG Click Here to MEET the BOARD
The PC Users Group of Connecticut (TPCUG) was formed to assist fellow members as well as the general public in becoming and remaining up to date with respect to both hardware and software technology of personal computers. Additionally we hope to increase awareness on the part of the general public with respect to the technical and practical uses of personal computers.
TPCUG of CT's intent is to provide a forum for communication between users of personal computers and manufacturers and vendors of personal computer hardware and software. All members of TPCUG of CT receive a copy of The Program (our newsletter) each month via e-mail.
Our meetings are open to the public and we encourage non-members to attend as our guest. Members are encouraged to bring guests whenever possible.
The PC Users Group of Connecticut meets at 6:30 P.M., at the Trumbull Public Library on Quality Street in Trumbull, CT.
Any questions about The PC Users Group of CT can be directed to our 2007 - 2008 President, John Roy.
