Computers & You 2009 Schedule

“The Internet? We are not interested in it”
— Bill Gates, 1993

Well, even if Bill doesnt think the web is very interesting, we sure do.  The Computers & You is a group session held for 14 weeks at the Tabernacle in Southington, CT starting in January.  The group is free of charge, starts at 10am and lasts 1 hour. We’re currently in the Coffee Shop upstairs at the Tabernacle for any and all who would like to join us.  The majority of the topics we’ll cover will be either completely free, or ridiculously cheap way you can use your computers to make your life better, less expensive, more productive and most of all fun!

Our tentative schedule is as follows:
(please note: i’ll be adding a summary of each meeting, hyperlinked from this page)

• Week 1: Introduction & Skype
• Week 2: Skype & Facebook
• Week 3: Facebook & Social Networking (and your online privacy!)
• Week 4: Google Documents (Toss your MS Office!)

These are subject to change, so check back before the class you think you want to attend.  All group meetings are in an informal setting – so relax and feel free to ask questions! You can also post comments to the blog after each class if you have a burning question, and we’ll try to address them during next week’s session.

Thanks again for checking us out!
