Got a NEW Computer? Are you NEW to Computing? NEW to the Internet?
THEN YOU'RE A NEWbie!
NEWBIEism CAN be cured! Come see us at SCUG.
Our Motto is "User Helping User."
No matter what your Newbie problem is - chances are we've got someone who has...
Been there - Done that!
Why re-invent the wheel? Collectively, we've made more mistakes than you can dream of. But, we've learned from them and we try to share our experiences with each other so that we don't have to make the same ones over and over. This frees us up to make new and even more advanced mistakes!
We usually meet the 2nd Saturday of every month. Our monthly meetings are held at the Whiteside County Senior Center located at 1207 West 9th Street, Sterling, IL (see Map). We meet from 1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. (see 2026 Meeting Dates for exact dates).
We begin with group Q & A from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. (We
try to assist with any computer questions our members may have.) At 2:00
p.m. we have a presentation by one of our members on a topic or program that they use or found interesting.
