Looking to get back into the swing of VHS movies? The Wisconsin Computer Club's portion of the Wisconsin Free Blockbuster System (centered on the Stevens Point locations) has a limited number of VCRs available for free to those who want them. Request in the thread below, and we'll be in touch...

Welcome all! This forum will be the catch-all for our shows and events going forward. I hope to add some sort of calendar functionality to this in the future. Many thanks all!

It's come to my attention that some users aren't able to get onto the forums because our system isn't sending the emails out. Do check your spam and junk folders, as our emails might be caught in those. If you still don't have it, don't fret, we're going to go through and manually clear people...

Hello all! Many thanks to the incredible Cameron for the help behind the scenes. The most visible change is that our logo has been updated from the 2021 "stripes" version to the 2022 "red" version seen above. At long last, some cohesion across the club "branding" elements, and it only took two...

By request, we now have a dedicated forum section to discuss video game consoles of all sorts! As Atari has both consoles and computers, I figure I'll leave that section alone for now. If anyone else has any ideas or suggestions on how the Wisconsin Computer Club website can be improved, let...

Onward to a better year full of all sorts of exciting new things for all of us! See you all next year! 😉

A very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa, or whatever you choose to celebrate! From my family to yours, may the season bring you and your family and friends as much happiness as possible to you all! This has been a tremendous year for all of us, and I'm beyond thankful to be in...

Something seems to be up with Facebook this week, and I'm not sure what it is or why. Presently, nothing I've tried to access in the WCC group that's older than a week can be accessed, and the event we have set up for the Winter Retro Festival is straight up unreachable. I'm not sure what's...

Hello all! Good news! The Wisconsin Computer Club has teamed up with the Portage County Library, and we will be bringing the WINTER RETRO FEST to the Stevens Point Library on Saturday, November 20th! This will be a combination swap meet and open house show- I'll be bringing a whole bunch of...

Our hosting provider reached out to me about an hour ago to alert me/us that the machine currently hosting this site (and others) has developed a fault and they need to migrate everything over to a new device. This very well may already be completed at this stage, as we're considered a "low...

I've been considering opening up a section on the boards for more "modern" (current) computer gear, but I'm not sure that anyone is interested in such a thing. Let me know how you feel either way if you like, no pressure though. Just batting the idea around a bit.

Alright, so following a recent Facebook post, we've had some interest in a more formal "Swap Meet" style event where we can all get together (either in public or in a more private setting, up to the group) to buy/sell/trade gear. I'm projecting this out either at the end of August or early in...

When I first started pitching the idea of "events" to the local libraries, the Marathon County library has been total silence. Unfortunately, THIS may be why.

Time again to discuss what is going on in the WCC for August! As of this writing, the "Delta" variant of Covid is on the rise, and how municipalities react to that will determine a lot of what we can and can't do for the next few months. I'm hoping for the best, but as usual, planning for the...

The Amigathon charity livestream event is happening THIS WEEKEND 7.24.2021, which runs for 24 hours. It features a wide range of Amiga-centered creators and a showcase of games and demos for the platform. Trailer is HERE, live event will be held HERE!

Like most forums (and online spaces in general) automated programs (known as "bots") will occasionally register accounts with the intent to post forum threads and messages with links to outside services and whatnot. These bots are not welcome on the site here (per our Terms of Service) and we...

The Wisconsin Computer Club is (as usual) working towards the goal of yet more public events for the month of July. Unfortunately, we didn't get anything booked in June, so we're hoping for better luck this month. Here's where we stand: The Portage County Library System is keen to book us when...

The Wisconsin Computer Club is calling any and all Commodore 64 aficionados who are interested in helping us sort through a massive haul of rescued C64 software. Most of it has been in storage since the early 90's, and we're not sure what's here and what works- and with hundreds and hundreds of...

Here it is, a place for all the Craigslist deals and Facebook Marketplace finds in and around Wisconsin. Happy hunting!

I would like to cordially invite you to join the Wisconsin Computer Club. We're a relatively small local organization based out of Stevens Point Wisconsin, and do not have membership fees or dues. Our core values are preservation, education, and responsible recycling. Through our website here...
