what makes up the world's largest user group, what they offer to their
members, what they have in common with and how they help support
community user groups and more.

institution-based user groups, how it fits in with his school district,
and how user group experience can be a big benefit when applying for a job.
Arno Drucker of The Maryland Apple Corps discusses his group's longevity,
their upcoming twenty-fifth anniversary celebration with Steve Wozniak,
and what goes on behind the scenes.
