The Beginners SIG (Special Interest Group)
This is one of several SIGs conducted within the PCUG, and is probably one of the more important ones for PC novices. It has been
running for 5 years and was previously called the Night Time Internet SIG.
Meetings are held on the on the last Tuesday of every
month - except December - at the PCUG Centre from 7-9pm
It is designed for both newcomers to computing and old timers who
have computer questions they would like to ask but don't know how
to
find the answer, and is essentially very basic in presentation.
Visitors will always feel comfortable in the small group sessions. It
supplements the Coffee and Chat SIG that has grown to the extent that
it can can tend to be a bit intimidating for all but the brave.
Although, that is not the intention.
Topics covered include:
- Internet.
- Search Engines - how to search the Internet.
- Outlook
Express - emails - address book.
- Windows - Folders - how to file your
information.
- Word - how to set up letters and use some of the icons.
- Excel -
how to use spreadsheets or formulas.
- Ad Aware, Spybot, Avast and other security software.
You
have the opportunity to ask any silly questions - we will try to answer them
for you or we will try and help you out.
You don't need to have
experience; just come along with your questions and learn some computer
shortcuts.
