"ComSoc" is short for
Computer Society. It's easier to say then "WNYCS".
If you own, use, or are thinking of purchasing a personal computer, a Western New York Computer Society
(ComSoc) membership may be the best accessory you can buy for it. Founded in 1982 as the Buffalo IBM PC Users Group (BIBMUG),
then as now our underlying purpose has been the same: USERS HELPING USERS.
We are many individuals, families, and professionals helping each other to learn more about personal
computers. Our members have all levels of experience, from first-time owners
to veteran home users and professionals. No need to feel out of place here;
we were all newbies at one time. Our monthly meetings are held at Rm 100 Allen Hall
at the UB South Campus. Major software publishers give us in-depth looks
at their products, often offering substantial discounts to members in attendance.
Door prizes are also available to our ComSoc members.
ComSoc also hosts numerous Special Interest Groups (SIG) meetings each month at the same location (100 Allen Hall).
SIG’s target popular applications or topics such as Windows 98/ME/XP/Vista/ 7, Microsoft Office, the Internet and Linux.
This provides a relaxed atmosphere to learn about your favorite program or interest, and best of all it's FREE!
Although not required for attendance, Membership is Encouraged!
