• 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).

On a personal note: I (Alice - the webmaster) owe much to the Mac. I was able to find my voice because of a Mac. I used a Mac to record my voice just after I had a hearing test. The hearing test showed that I was able to hear above average at a given frequency range. Using a Mac, I saw that the area I was more sensitive to was the same as my own voice -- when I thought I was being loud, people could barely hear me. And here, for most of my childhood and early adulthood, I thought no one was listening to me ;-). What a gift -- Thanks Steve!
