Purchasing Computers Holiday Update...
Too late for the Fort Smith Library's evening session on purchasing computers and other technology items for Christmas, CNET has compiled its list of desktop and laptop reviews in time for the holiday buying season. To quote from the CNET article:
"The difference from our normal lineup of reviews is that this roundup is concerned with the specific retail models offered by brick-and-mortar stores. These are similar to those you'd be able to configure online from companies such as Dell and HP, but may have slightly different names and features. Even better, thanks to deep holiday discounts, they can sometimes be a better deal than buying direct from a PC maker."
In other words, you can use the article to check out the bargains you spot in retail store advertising through the holidays. The CNET article, with links to specific model information, can be found at:

By the way, the computer in the picture is the xoxo, a design concept produced by MIT's One Computer Per Child project. Technology is not quite this advanced yet, but we're getting closer every year.
This Thanksgiving Weekend...
We're thankful for all the hard working instructors who volunteer their time and talents, all the participants who attended one or more classes, and the Fort Smith Library and their staff who allow us to use the computer lab for the River Valley Senior classes. A special thanks to Star Locklear who not only serves as registrar for the whole program but compiles and sends the class evaluation results to the instructors so that participant suggestions are heard and incorporated into future classes.
All the best holiday wishes to everyone.
