New SIG - Coming February 1, 2004

Computer Essentials SIG

The Computer Essentials SIG (special interest group) will introduce you to the world of computing. You’ll learn to sit, crawl, stand, walk, and run a computer with confidence. You’ll start at the beginning, continue until you reach the end, and, then, stop.

Each monthly session will introduce the essentials of using a computer. Over the course of our meetings, you’ll learn the correct way to use a mouse and keyboard, text editing, word processing, file management, anti-virus scanners, spreadsheets, taking care of you computer, fonts, web browsing, newsgroups (UseNet), printing, scanning, file formats, and much more.

The first session on February 4, 2004 (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Science 111) will be crucial to understanding everything that follows. You learn to identify the objects and features that you see on the monitor, the correct way to use a mouse and keyboard, fundamentals of navigation and manipulation of objects (selecting, copying, deleting, inserting, etc.), editing text, and word processing fundamentals, fonts, and much more.

Please e-mail computeressentialssig@noccc.org if you plan to attend. Please include a little information about yourself, such as your computer experience, what kind of computer you use, what operating system you use, and any other information that might be of interest to you. Tell your friends, too!
