What Happened @ the Computer Club????
ron thomas
There were about 8 or 9 folks interspersed with some late comers at the meeting. Folks brought questions and others had answers for them and some of them stumped us. Like Barbra Burgess who wanted to know how to make her MACintosh work a photo program that she has. We could sure use people that know about MACs. We just all stared at her with our mouth's agape mumbling funny noises.
Another show stopper was Wayne Hill who brought his laptop that displays an error code and will not run. Jim Dodds this may be one for you.
We talked of internet and formal classes which brings Sid Adkins to the forefront. He has been in computers for over 30 years and has taught classes to the folks at the Senior Center. He has Guru stamped all over his forehead. He also may have access to the Ocean Spray center computer lab where he has taught classes before. In such a class everyone has a computer. We hope to develope him as a future resource.
Bill Holt was there and had some suggestions for questions from Milt and he found some new things he asked about too.
Joye Newman had questions about removing Spam from email and really hoped to learn how to use Picasa... Jim Rose told her how easy it was to use and invited her over to his house to teach her how.
Milt Sadusky brought a whole list of questions about problems he was having and people answered some and not others. He had a comment about a service he was using to fix his computer and remarked that the person has been back 6 times and still has not cured the problems. The thing to do with that complaint we beleive is to only mention here on the website those technicians who are getting good reviews. We won't mention bussinesses that are getting gripes against them but will shamelessly plug those that you readers are reporting as giving good service. Over time we hope to establish a list of good service people... You will know if their name appears here that they have been giving good service. Email us with gripes and praise and we will tally them up and put on the website if they measure up. That will go for all service people. Your name and what you write won't be put here.
We talked about having a network at the clubhouse with a hi speed connection. Gaming with our own folks on-line... Bill Furgason snuck in some X-10 questions about home automation. Talk of making your computer photo's show up on your home TV screen .
The meeting melted away of its own accord after about an hour and a half. Personally, I was jazzed and encouraged to do it again. So for now we will have a meeting every other Tuesday at 1:00pm. If more people come maybe we can have it every week. It's up to you. Meanwhile, we'll take a break and see everybody in a couple of weeks. Thank you for coming... I enjoyed meeting you and having the pleasure of your company
