DUsers is widely acknowledged as the first Macintosh users group. The first president was Denise Walls, a Mechanical engineering major from Williamsport, Pennsylvania and the first vice president was computer engineering major Steve Weintraut of Cherry Hill, New Jersey.[4] A few years after the DUsers were formed, there was a large gala event held at Drexel to premiere the release of a documentary called "Going National", that chronicled Drexel's implementation of a Mac-centric campus. The event was attended by Steve Jobs, who was the founder of Apple computer. The original President, Denise Weintraut (Walls), and Vice President, Steve Weintraut, started dating that night and a few years later were married in June 1988. They have 3 children, Zachary Weintraut, Nicholas Weintraut, and Emily Weintraut. The DUsers held 2 large Macintosh expos on campus, MacFair 85 and MacFair II (1987). Both of these events were very successful and raised a large amount of money for the group's activities. Some of the other key founding members of the DUsers were Terrill L. Frantz, Seth Grenald, Charles Stack, Christine Axsmith, Debbie Pollack, Arthur Cohen, Scott Brown, Dave Dubin and J.C. Dubs In the fall of 2004, DUsers was officially disbanded, with all its remaining assets turned over to TechServ, a club based primarily on performing community service through technology and supporting the open source software movement.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|author1=Lexerd (Drexel University)|title=Be careful that your Apple doesn’t byte you|url=http://archives.library.drexel.edu/displays/exhibits/show/computing/the-microcomputer-project/item/945|website=archives.library.drexel.edu|publisher=Drexel University Archives Digital Collections|accessdate=18 June 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|author1=Joseph Master|title=When the Mac Came to Market Street: The Story of the Drexel Microcomputing Program|url=http://www.lebow.drexel.edu/market-street/vol1/issue1/when-mac-came-market-street|website=www.lebow.drexel.edu|publisher=LeBow College of Business, Drexel University|accessdate=18 June 2014|location=paragraph 21}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Access for Everyone: Computing at Drexel, 1946-1984|url=http://archives.library.drexel.edu/displays/exhibits/show/computing/the-microcomputer-project|website=archives.library.drexel.edu|publisher=Drexel University Libraries|accessdate=18 June 2014}} 4. ^{{cite journal|last=Mace|first=Scott|date=June 4, 1984|title=Creating a Campus Users’ Group|journal=InfoWorld|publisher=InfoWorld Media Group, Inc.|volume=6|issue=23|pages=25|issn=0199-6649}} 5. ^History of TechServ External links
