The BMUG PD-ROM Volume I CD-ROM from 1988. It contains a vast amount of 80's freeware and shareware, along with several BMUG newsletters ranging from Fall of 1984 to Spring of 1987.

BMUG was an education non-profit corporation which promoted the exchange of information about graphical interface computers, including the Apple Macintosh. Located in Berkeley, California, BMUG provided valuable services to computer users in the San Francisco Bay Area and around the world since 1984.

BMUG was one of the world's largest user groups with thousands of members covering the range from absolute novice to industry leader. Because of the diverse demands of their members, they had earned a reputation for being friendly, knowledgeable, and innovative.

BMUG held meetings every Thursday at the University of California in Berkeley to discuss topics such as Music, Modems, A/UX, Graphics and Desktop Publishing, CAD, Macintosh Basics, HyperCard, Programming, Database Development, and Professional Computing.

The BMUG Newsletter was published semi-annually and sent free to all members. This prodigious work always totaled more than 300 pages of commentaries, tutorials, and reviews. BMUG accepted no advertising for the Newsletter, so each issue is a solid collection of unbiased writing unlike anything else in the industry. The newsletter was widely read for the expertise, opinion, and good humor contained in each issue.
