Palm User Group Netherlands

You have just reached the website of the Palm User Group Netherlands (PUG-NL). Our primary goal is to exchange information about handheld computers (Palm, Visor, Sony CLIE, Handera/TRGpro etc.). Since the start-up in September, 1998, we grew rapidly to currently more than 5,000 members. We have our own bi-monthly newsletter, heavily visited website and discussion board. We also organize a user meeting once a year.
Because we are focussed on the Benelux region, all publications (website and newsletter) are in the Dutch language.

History
Fjodor van Slooten started a website in May 1998, called PalmBeach. The site provided basic information and tips about PalmOS handheld computers. Several months later Fjodor and Serge Linneweever founded the Palm User Group Netherlands, and changed the name to Palmclub. In September 1998 Susan Krieger joined the group as editor of the newsletter, while Serge resigned.
The website and newsletter gained popularity, Susan became editor in chief. By the end of June 1999, we held our first meeting, and arranged to setup a foundation.
Palmclub bestuur Since then, the website and the community have grown to 4,000+ forum members and 5,000+ subscribers to our newsletter.

The current board consists of:

Chairman: Jean-Paul Horn
Treasurer, Secretary & Editor-in-chief: Gonny van der Zwaag
