The ICON PC User Group was formed in 1990 by six individuals wishing to learn more about computers and has been holding meetings ever since. Most of the original six are still active members in the group. Prior to starting the user group, they met at their homes where they taught each other based on a person's specialty with computers. Those meetings led to their seeking a location so that more people could have this learning advantage. The Brentwood Public Library provided, and continues to provide, a meeting space where the community can become involved in our computer group.
Our goals are to: ICON remains current by regularly upgrading its computer equipment so it can demonstrate and teach about the latest products and information. ICON is an acronym from the original name of the group: the IBM/COMPATIBLE USERS OF NEW YORK. ICON has grown from the original 6 members to over 135 members today, residing all over Long Island, from Great Neck to Hampton Bays. For only $20 per year for an entire family, all members can get help running their computer(s) & adding new hardware, obtain discounts on purchases from select sources, and can attend some of Long Island's most informative meetings presented by our members or company representatives demoing their products. It is all designed to give our members the information required to make the best decisions when buying hardware or software. Most meetings have door prizes for members - an added attraction for joining and attending meetings. MEETINGS: COME ON DOWN!!
