The class notes from the November 5th workshop on "How to Buy a Computer (and other digital devices) for Christmas" have been posted online. A joint project of the Fort Smith Public Library and the River Valley Seniors, the workshop was led by P.J. Williams, Computer Services Librarian and B.R. Black, a retired school district technology director. The workshop format allowed for plenty of "show & tell" using the actual electronic equipment being discussed. Questions were encouraged and plenty of participant questions kept the discussion focused on the needs of the class participants.
Responding to several questions on Windows 7, video cameras, and other topics several additional online resources have been added to the notes. The notes are saved in Adobe's .pdf format. If your pdf reader software permits clicking the underlined blue links should connect to the online references. Please note that several of the Consumer Reports links require a subscription, but members of the Fort Smith Public Library can either use the computers available in the main or branch libraries, or use their library card number to gain access to the library's online magazine files with the directions provided in the handout.
In short, we had a lively discussion and everyone seemed to enjoy the exchange.
