Assistive Technology SIG

New SIG. Computers offer many enhancements that make it easier for people who have additional visual or physical requirements. Many software and hardware accessibility features will be examined in depth each month..

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.

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!

For further information see the
Computer Essentials SIG Announcement.

General Meetings

Main Meeting (1:00 p.m. in Irvine Auditorium)

Data Recovery Procedures and Software

This month's topic is data recovery in general and the EasyRecovery FileRepair program in particular.

In 1985, Ontrack Data Recovery founders, Michael Rogers, John Pence and Gary Stevens saw a need in the disk drive market and developed their first product, Disk Manager® software, a hard disk installation utility.

When introduced, Disk Manager software broke the then current 32 megabyte size limit in DOS and allowed access to the new larger 40 megabyte hard drives. Disk drive manufacturers wanted to offer their users this Ontrack software solution, and many began bundling Disk Manager software with the drives they produced.

To date, Disk Manager has installed more than 80 million drives worldwide. Though Disk Manager is still sold, the companies emphasis is now focused on data recovery. For lots of additional details go to www.ontrack.com

Presented by Bill Hersey and Bill Miller, Kroll Ontrack. (www.ontrack.com).
SIG leader: George Margolin (inventor@pobox.com)
