DUsers is an Apple Macintosh users' group at Drexel University in Philadelphia. It was founded in April 1984 by Drexel students interested in learning more about the Macintosh, even before it was released to the public.
DUsers is widely acknowledged as the first Macintosh users group. The first president was Denise Walls, a Mechanical engineering major from Williamsport, Pennsylvania and the first vice president was computer engineering major Steve Weintraut of Cherry Hill, New Jersey.[1]
In the fall of 2004, DUsers was officially disbanded, with all its remaining assets turned over to Techserv, a club based primarily on performing community service through technology and supporting the open source software movement.[2]
The group is currently in the process of reforming at Drexel, and is accepting new members now. The finalized constitution for the organization has been submitted to the University for approval.
