Meeting on Wednesday, March 15 Windows 10 Presentation

The RCW Computer Club will meet again on Wednesday, March 15 at 7:00 in Classroom 2.  Larry Kuntz will give us a very valuable presentation on Windows 10.

Don't forget to make use of the computer help session on Monday at 1-3 in Cardroom 2 behind the Library.  The season is drawing to a close and many are heading back home including our experts and helpers.

We will have a final meeting on Wednesday, March 22 and will discuss plans for next year.  Everyone's input is needed.

Computer Snacks for March 1, 2017

The March 8th meeting will be "What is the Cloud?" presented by Chuck Webster.  Chuck worked in the server industry and has a unique perspective on what that nebulous thing is and where it came from. His knowledge will help you not only with understanding the "Cloud" but also its security and structure.

I would also like to share some information from another blog that I manage called Traveling-with-technology.  This blog contains information and sites I have found useful that I want to maintain for myself and traveling friends.  This current post has some current information on the increasing of Gmail attachment size and a free software that allows you to save and backup your Gmail messages to your PC, quite useful in preventing the  😭"heartbreak"😭 of lost or accidently deleted messages.  It can also provide the archive needed to delete emails to free up Google space for more.

Hope to see you on Wednesday!

Great Speaker for Wednesday, Feb. 15

Be sure to put this Wednesday's PC Club on your calendar.  We are extremely fortunate to have Dr. Byran Heidorn, Director (School of Information Resources and Library Science) as our speaker. https://ischool.arizona.edu/users/bryan-heidorn He will give us an overview of the Internet of Things, the network connection of many things even down to kitchen appliances.  He will also tell us about a citizen science project he is conducting that is based on wifi enabled hummingbird feeders that count licks of the sugar water from feeders for feed the nectar bats (Lesser Long-nosed bats) that migrate through Tucson.  I am especially excited about the topic of this meeting, so be sure to attend.
