Whether you're a true computer geek or you don't know RAM from SPAM, the Computer Club is here to help you navigate the digital wave. Our computer room, located in the Clubhouse, is open to all residents, and includes 14 workstations - both Mac and PCs - networked printers and a scanner. Two large overhead monitors enable students to see the screens as experts hold free classes for Windows and Mac apps. Work on your own or attend one of the club's free "Help Sessions" offered throughout the month. Need help with how to take or print out a great photo from your digital camera? Monthly drop-in sessions are available for residents interested in digital photography.  If you've always wanted to know more about your family tree, the club offers classes on ancestry.com in our computer room.  So, expert or novice, log on with us and let's speak geek.
