What's a User Group?

Fed up with your computer? We can help !!

WHO ARE WE?

Folks who share your fascination with personal computers, particularly those that "do Windows." Our emphasis is hardware and software that runs on Win XP / Vista / Win 7, Internet topics, and computer-related technology. We're big enough to give you the help you need, but small enough to be friendly! Our group is a member-supported, non-profit, educational organization with roots back to 1977 and the first Radio Shack model I computers!

National Capital Technology and Computer User's Group, Inc.
Our History

Our group was founded in May, 1978, as the Tandy Computer User's Group, shortly after Radio Shack's TRS-80 Model I computer was introduced. Our name was revised in 2004 to reflect the reality of computer technology today. For a bit of (personal computer) historical perspective, Commodore, Apple II and the TRS-80 were all introduced in '77,   four years before the IBM-PC hit the market.

NCTCUG, Inc. is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) organization - a non-profit, educational organization. Our purpose is to help our members learn more about their computers and software - and we're one of the oldest personal computer groups in the United States.

We incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1985 as the National Capital Tandy Computer User's Group, Inc. Our discussions and programs emphasize the convergence of computers, digital imaging, television, and related technologies.
