BMUG is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to the exchange of
information about graphic interface computers, including the Apple
Macintosh.  Started in 1984 by enthusiasts at the University of
California, BMUG is based in Berkeley, CA, and currently has around 7000 or
8000 members worldwide.  Membership is $40/yr or $25/half-year, and
includes a semiannual newsletter averaging 400 pages, access to a
multiline BBS with various Usenet echoes and netmail, and access to our
HelpLine for technical support or other advice.  If you'll be at MacWorld
Expo in San Francisco next month (or Boston in August) look us up!  If
not, give us a call at the number below and we'll send a brochure which
goes into more excruciating detail.
