The Society has been in operation for about ten years, during which time the micro-computer has grown from being a curiosity to a regular part of working and home life. The Society has undergone at least one name change and is now registered as a Society with the N.S. Registry of Joint Stocks. The Society has a membership of about 60, which includes teenagers, retirees, computer professionals, beginners, office workers,hobbyists and hackers. Interests vary and encompass office applications, programming, communications, games, engineering, graphics and more. The common bond is wanting to know more about current technology and future trends concerning microcomputers and the software they use.
Membership is open to everyone.
The Society publishes a monthly newsletter which is issued in time to remind members of the next meeting. Articles are provided by members and are about any topic concerning computers and their use. The Newsletter is usually about six or eight pages in length, and also contains announcements and, on occasion, advertising fliers from local computer suppliers. It is also regularly available on a number of local bulletin boards. Most of the popular Shareware programs are available.
