Thoughts From a Clicker
By Tiny Ruisch
I’ve spent the past two hours trying to decide what I should write about in this space. At first I thought I’d remind everyone that school has let out for summer vacation and remind them to drive safely. Then I remembered when school started everyone was reminded to drive safely. I decided that wouldn’t be a good subject because some wise acre would surely think that meant we didn’t have to drive safely the rest of the time.
Then I thought that maybe I could give some hints on how to use your computer more efficiently or maybe how to use one of my favorite programs. I immediately realized that I already try to do that in my various workshops every month.
Then I realized how lonely I get at some of them. My favorite workshop is the Tuesday Q&A. We don’t get near as many members as I had hoped for. With well over 150 active members, there are seldom more than three or four attendees. It’s a real shame. Cal is usually one of the participants and he is really great at answering questions. Why not join us and try to stump him?
Now that I’ve started to ramble, I can think of a few other things you can do for the Cajun Clickers.
Why not contribute an article to this newsletter? Do you have a favorite program that you think would be useful to other computer users? Did you get some new hardware? Have you found a great website that everyone should know about? Heard a funny technology story that you just can’t want to tell everyone? Take a few minutes and write about it. It doesn’t take long and might be just the thing that could generate more interest in our club.
Why not bring a friend to one of our monthly meetings? You can impress them with how smart you are by being a member of our club. They just might decide to join and then we could all benefit.
When he wasn’t busy helping me invent the internet, almost the President Vice President Al Gore said, “Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things.” I think that means this would be a good time for me to shut up.
Thanks for reading.
