Welcome to WAUC

The Wisconsin All-computer Users Club is for computer users of every level of expertise, from novice to expert. Our computer user group supports a variety of computer platforms: Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Currently all meetings are held via Zoom. Guests are welcome at the meetings if you want to see what the club is all about before joining. If you have questions about us or want to join email ddskarda@wi.rr.com

There is a monthly General Meeting on the first Thursday of the month, and several SIGs (Special Interest Group) meetings during the month. See the Events section for more details. Guests are welcome at the meetings if you want to see what the club is all about before joining.

The yearly dues are $25; if you join after June 1st the dues are $12.50. Becoming a member entitles you to a monthly e-mail PDF newsletter, a monthly e-bulletin, access to our message board called BoardWAUC, and attendance at the General Meetings and SIGs. In August the General Meeting is replaced by a picnic, and in December the General Meeting is replaced by a Christmas Party. We also have a monthly luncheon get-together.

The monthly General Meeting is two hours long: 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Coffee and goodies are served, there is a short business meeting, and there is the sale of a club CD-ROM with useful software.  After a short break, there is a drawing of a raffle prize, and then a one hour presentation. To facilitate presentations, the club has its own laptop and projector.  The presentations are about a variety of computer-related subjects. In the past there have been presenters from Microsoft, Smart Computing Magazine, APCUG, the FBI, and local TV and Radio celebrities, just to name a few.

All WAUC members qualify to receive WAUC's One-on-One Computer Repair Service. As we have learned all too well, computers often have to be examined to determine exactly what their problems are. What we think might be the problem, might not really be the case. Until his recent passing, WAUC Treasurer Bill Gierach performed this service for WAUC members. WAUC has now arranged with Mr. Brian Behling to continue this service. Brian has ties to Jackson Park Lutheran Church and to WAUC and is very knowledgeable and experienced in working with personal computers. If your machine is crashing, running slow, making funny noises, or whatever, let him take a look at it. This is just the first step. The examination and the estimate are free but subsequent payment for parts and labor may be necessary. With this, at least you'll be informed and be able to make a better decision. Brian can also install solid state drives and carry out other upgrades. Computer examinations can be done at Brian’s home or maybe at your home. To facilitate this service and arrange the best time, please first send an email, call, or speak to Brian. He can be reached at brianb50@gmail.com or at 414-313-3709.
