Questions about this site:
New Meeting Location!!!
The meeting location is changing. From now on we will be meeting at the Oakbrook Public Library which is located at 600 Oak Brook Road, Oak Brook IL 60523 . The meeting time remains at 7PM but we have to be out by 9PM. Our regular meeting will continue to be on the third Monday of each month but there will be some adjustments to that schedule.
If you use Google Maps, the actual location is about a mile west of where it is flagged. It’s the building on the unnamed road west of Grant Street on the north side of 31st Street (Oak Brook Road).
Members Helping Members since 1979!
First Newsletter Found!
We had a copy of the October 1979 DAUG Newsletter and thought it was the earliest, but we found the very first one from August-September 1979. It notes the first formal meeting was a Great Success and the next meeting would be September 11, 1979. Check it out on our Newsletter page.
Happy Birthday DuPage Apple User Group!

Auction 2003 pictures found!

Where did we get all of this stuff and who bought it? Do you still have some of these items?
You may notice a few more changes here…
This page is mostly made from blog posts using WordPress. This means that more than one person can manage the site using any computer or an iPhone!
We used RapidWeaver to handle the theme and page relationships and have moved to a new host, GoDaddy.com. If you have any suggestions or comments, please send them to Webmaster at DuPageAUG dot com .
Photos from our 25th Anniversary Party Found!
I ran across photos I had taken at the party. Check them out!
If you have photos of any group outing or party, please contact Webmaster at DuPageAUG dot com and we will get them posted
The DuPage AUG Message Board is available now!
And, without leaving DuPageAUG.com! Try out the new Forum tab in the top menu!
The message board is intended for the exchange of information, help request, meeting topic requests, announcements, and more. You can join today!
You need to join the DAUG Google Group. Please include your real name when signing up as it will help the group managers find your membership record.
Once you join, you can post a message using either a web browser or your E-mail application.
If you setup a GMail.com account specific to any Google Groups and select to receive messages using your E-mail program and use the standard account settings, you will not see your original message. A work around this is to not use GMail’s outgoing (smtp) server, but use your default (ComCast, Earthlink, etc.)
