   The PC users in my area gathered once a month to talk about the latest trends   
   in viruses, new software, have lessons on various things.  It's become a   
   nonprofit, I think, and still meets as far as I know.  The underground boards   
   had a few users that would meet at a local coffee shop -- teens, of course.   
   I met up with them several times, turned out I knew a few of them.  We were   
   close friends for a number of years.   
      
   The best fun was with the Amiga users, though.  I went out several times with   
   them; it was my first experience at miniature golf, and we did some other fun   
   outings.  My Amiga 500 was pretty much stock with just a floppy drive, and a   
   couple of the sysops let me come over and check out their systems.  At the   
   time, those were really cool experiences.
