Thoughts From a Clicker
By Tiny Ruisch
Would you like to learn about Chromebooks and what they can do? Are you ready to use Gmail like a pro? Do you know all of the methods for backing up your computer? Want to find out how a Raspberry Pie works? Would you like to never spend another dime on computer software? Want to find out how your smart TV works? Want to learn how to use a Ham radio? Want to find out how to research genealogical databases?
Some of these topics have been presented at CCCC workshops, but other haven’t. You can attend them and many more with your club membership. Almost every Wednesday of the year, the Association of Personal Computer User Groups (APCUG) has a “Wednesday Workshop”. Even if the topics of the week aren’t of interest to me, I almost always attend. I’ve found that I almost always pick up a useful hint or tip.
All that is required to attend is an active CCCC membership and the Zoom application. All you have to do is sign up for the APCUG mailing list. You can easily join by clicking the link in the Clicker Classified section of the newsletter. Clicking the registration link will open a form in your web browser. Just enter your e-mail address, first and last name. In the final block enter “Cajun Clickers Computer Club”. The full name is required.
Joining the list gets you invitations to all of the associations workshops. These informational presentations are on Zoom They are usually presented every Wednesday and on one Saturday each month. When workshops are scheduled, you will receive an e-mail with information on how to register and get Zoom login credentials.
You can also view the videos on YouTube. Just search for APCUG. I recommend listening live if you can. I find it hard to believe that more of our members aren’t utilizing this great resource. Maybe it is the same reason they don’t attend club workshops.
That’s all for this month. Thanks for reading.
