MUCHO-A
Very Brief History
MUCHO
(Macintosh Users Computers Hands On) was created in 1986 by a few
seniors taking a beginning
Macintosh course at the Palo Alto Senior Center taught by Larry Rouse
of
Foothill College. About a dozen of us began meeting in homes fairly
regularly.
When Apple recognized us as an official Macintosh User Group, we
proceeded
to publish a newsletter.
Then
the Palo Alto Senior Center provided a meeting room and use of a
computer for demonstrations at our meetings. After about ten years
there, MUCHO needed to move. We contacted Little House and they said
they would be delighted to accept MUCHO , with the understanding that
our members would also become Little House members. We held our first
Little House meeting in September, 1993.
Our
relationship with the Little House Computer Club has been excellent. We
have many new members and our meetings are well attended. The
facilities available at the lab and in the classroom are first class.
Some MUCHO members are volunteer instructors and lab monitors for the
Little House computer club.
