I can't say much better about the San Francisco Apple Core's GS SIG.
I saw something earlier about a new group in SF I haven't heard of before,
and I might switch to them.

Far as I can tell, the Core is dead. Or at least lethargic. It's eery
going to a meeting for the most recent II machine, and being one of six
people, and the other five are all old enough to be my parents! And as you
said, a few of these guys use their machines in very primitive ways.

Oh well... maybe this new group will be better.
