• Our group started in 1986. We were originally known as Desktop Connections - an Apple User group exclusive to Monmouth County.
• A few years later we joined with folks from Toms River and Brick and became MOPMUG (Monmouth/Ocean County Professional Mac User Group).
• Around 1998 we changed our name to MacWaves to better reflect the diversity of our group.
• Around late 1999, we merged with Brookdale Computer Users Group (BCUG).

• If you become a BCUG member, discounts are available for the purchase of new software, hardware, books and web site hosting. MUG members are authorized to purchase hardware and software from PowerMax's -- the official Mac User Group Store, just be sure to mention MacWaves so our group gets credit ;-).
