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!

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

Lee Otsubo The Digital Photo Guy (TDPG)

Lee Otsubo explains every single knob, dial, switch and menu on a “typical” high, mid-range digital camera. He explains what they do, how they work, and when to use them so users can squeeze out every last bit of performance from their digital cameras.

The Digital Photo Guy (TDPG) is an engineer turned sales/marketing executive who has spent over 35 years in high technology and finally decided to do what he enjoys. TDPG now spends his time researching digital camera technologies and techniques so he can present the most up-to-date and useful information to digital camera users. This information is offered via free workshops at timeshare resorts, PC user groups, computer clubs, RV parks and cruises.

Presented by Lee Otsubo, (http://www.thedigitalphotoguy.com/).
