Friday 10 June - Seniors
- Leader - 9:30am - 12:30pm
Peter Collard will lead the group at this meeting.
He will explain how to "Make Life Easier with the 'ANY' Key"
The 'any' key simplified many tasks in the past,
but is seldom used in Windows operating systems. Peter will delve into the modern 'any' keys that simplify
your work. He will demonstrate shortcuts of all types on
keyboards, desktops etc.
Do you know how to get to the Disk Manager or
Device Manager in just one click? This and other miracles of modern
technology will be revealed.
Friday 10 June - Communications
- J. Lucke - 12:30pm - 3:30pm
The significance of e-mail messages may not
have been realized when it was developed but it led to enormous changes in
the way people communicate.
E-mail messages, VOIP, video conferencing, text
messages and social media sites on the Internet are now commonly used all
over the world.
At his meeting the group will discuss
communication problems in a question and answer session and look
at current trends and applications.

Cheers,
John
