Computer SIG Club

Do you want to be a different from the mass?. Well, nowadays you won't got a lot of choices like before. Today, all this is not a relevant anymore. Even the most guarded turf now seem broken. Apple with it's Motorola chips have to given a away for Intel domination. All computers nowadays are able to communicate with each other, even between a two different Operating System.

Try this at the old days. There is a dozen brands of computer in the market. Each with their own Oses that incompatible and usually own BASIC Languages that some times impossible to run one BASIC program on a different brand of computer without any alteration at all.

But all this short fall didn't stop people flocking to computer shop and bought their favorite computer. Soon the user forming a community of special interest group or SIG club so that member can communicate, ask the 'guru' for any problem and exchange idea or interest on either the hardware, peripheral or software program. Every computer brand surely got their own community or follower and they forming a user SIG in every part of the country around the world.

No users shouldn't let them self left out from the community!(remember there is no internet those day). Only if you're lucky there's might be a Bulletin Board Service (something like internet) in that country that you can subscribe on and that's depend whether you can get a modem and the BBS that support your computer. Computer magazine is also played a very big part by listing a computer SIG around the world in their magazine, some time you can become a member of other country SIG!.

I'd longing for those days, I'll still remember how I joined my first SIG club (when I bought my Commodore C-64) and we meet once a month and received monthly newsletter. Sometimes we having an exhibition of our club to extract new member.

Today it's very hard to find any computer SIG club. Since Windows running computer is very easy to used and its pretty okay to be on your own.. The internet is here already, any problem can be solved through internet. Unless you'll using Apple computer or running other than Windows OS like Linux or others, then maybe there is a users forming a users SIG somewhere!.
