The Main Meeting is from 1:00 PM till ~3:00 PM at Chapman University in the city of Orange, CA. USA.

Benefits of Membership

  • Main Meetings - Keep up with what's going on in the computer world. Hear outstanding industry representatives make presentations of the latest and greatest in computer products. Special Interest Groups - Our SIGs cover a broad spectrum of user interest; they invite you, whether you rank as beginner or seasoned expert, to take in the lectures and demonstrations they sponsor, and to share computer knowledge.

    Get Help with your current Computer Problems - In the Random Access portions of the meetings you ask your question of the entire assemblage, and more than likely someone will have the answer.

    The NOCCC Help Line - NOCCC volunteers, experts in their fields, stand ready to assist with your problems, as close as your telephone. This is published in the Orange Bytes print edition and is available primarily to members only.

    The Orange Bytes - Our large news magazine reports on current activities and gives you articles and reviews geared toward your needs.

    Raffles - Each year we distribute hardware, software, and computer related books as raffle prizes at our general meetings in the afternoon.

    Product Review - Write a review for the news magazine and keep the software, hardware, book, or Cd-ROM. For a list of products see the latest Orange Bytes News magazine. Read about what other reviewers have discovered.

    SIGs - Our Special Interest Groups range from operating systems to smart phones. Please see the Home Page for leaders and reports.
     
  • Consignment Table - We have a consignment table on alternate, even months, in which we assist members to sell or buy all kinds of computer items. Use our
    handy on-line form (<-click) to prepare your paperwork in advance. You may also bring electronic waste hardware (e-waste) for disposal on these even months.
