ABACUS is an informal group of current and former Atari users who meet once a month to discuss various computer-related topics, and to share information, tips, and rumors. Established in 1981 by former Antic and STart publisher James Capparell, ABACUS is the oldest continuously active Atari user group in the San Francisco Bay Area.

General Abacus Meetings

Our meetings are generally held on the first Saturday of the month on the Second Floor of the Potrero Branch of the San Francisco Public Library located at 1616 20th Street (between Arkansas and Connecticut Streets) in San Francisco. Since we occasionally have conflicts (such as Labor Day in September), it is best to check your newsletter (if you are a member) or e-mail our fearless leader, Roger Sinasohn, at roger@sinasohn.com. Meetings are from approximately 1pm to about 5pm. Meetings are FREE and open to everyone.

At our meetings, members share information on the latest Atari and other computer-related news and give demonstrations of new products. We also offer help and guidance to any users needing it.

Special Events

We also publicize special events of interest to our members, such as the Classic Gaming Expo. See our Special Events listing for details.
