Preview of the Next CTPC Meeting |
April 22, 2008 - 6:30 p.m. |
In observance of “Earth Day,” the program is about computers and our environmental resources. CTPC Program Chairman Ben Wilson will conduct the presentation that will focus on issues such as:
- Do computers really save on paper?
- Are today’s computers more energy efficient than in the past?
- How do you pick an energy efficient computer?
- How do you configure the power saving features?
- What’s the proper way to dispose of or recycle an old computer?
So whether you want to “save the planet” or just save a buck, please join us. This promises to be a fast-paced and interesting program!
Also, Charlotte Cooper will give us a brief overview of a terrific adult education resource called “Lifetime Learners.” Lifetime Learners Institute is a volunteer organization of people over 50 who want to continue learning. Members come from all over Fairfield County to the campus of Norwalk Community College where each Spring and Fall, LLI offers about 40 courses, as well as the Brown Bag Lunch and Learn lecture series. There is also a 5-week Winter Session. Membership dues are only $25 per year (June 1 to May 31). Course fees are $15/course/term. More information can be found at www.lifetimelearners.org.
As always, we’ll open the floor to computer questions during “Random Access” and praise or condemnation of computer products you’ve tried recently during “Picks and Pans.” The famous “Pizza SIG” follows at Uncle Joe’s”
