The MacTechnics Story

MacTechnics is an Ann Arbor Apple Computer Users Group. It is one of the largest & oldest Apple User Groups in Michigan and is comprised of all types of Apple product users from newbie novices to IT professionals. Formed in the Fall of 1984, MacTechnic’s mission is to expand computer literacy in an interesting, friendly, nonjudgemental, and entertaining way.  MacTechnics accomplishes this by hosting monthly meetings with member directed presentations, member dialogue/Q&A, free technical support (software & hardware), and occasional workshops.

MacTechnics normally meets the 3rd Saturday of each month at the NEW Center Building, 1100 North Main Street, Ann Arbor. There is ample parking just outside the building. (All meetings are now held as Zoom meetings as the building is presently closed due to pandemic.)
