CACHE

Welcome to CACHE, Chicago's first computer user group. Founded in 1975 to explore and learn the science and art of desktop computing, CACHE is now the second oldest computer users group in the country.

Our members' systems are predominately IBM compatibles and are used at home and business settings. We range from novice to expert and from amateur to professional.

At most meetings, in addition to interesting presentations, you'll get a chance to ask questions and get help from other members.

We welcome guests to all our meetings and we look forward to your becoming a member of our organization.

Guests are welcome to all meetings which are held the 3rd Sunday of each month.
