Android Phone and Tablets
This Special Interest Group [SIG] provides club members an opportunity to share and learn together with other Phone and Tablet users. The group is moderated by Len Carniato and in 2012 includes Android Tablet Computers, such as Galaxy, Acer, Sony, Kindle, Nook, and others. The format is unstructured "Round Table" where everyone is free to give views and ask questions from any aspect. Both Phone and Tablet are displayed on the 'big screen' making it easy for everybody to see and participate. Members new to this technology and those who may be considering a purchase are welcome to join, learn, and GROW.

Walk-In Workshop, Computer Lab, Android Smartphone SIG
Just one year ago the SCLHCC initiated a Walk-In Workshop at the Computer Lab at Orchard Creek. Our more experienced computer members have offered assistance to many members who have needed hands-on assistance in effectively utilizing the hardware and software components of their home and laptop systems. The monthly Walk-In Workshop has been well attended with free solutions offered to correct the nagging problems brought to the Workshop by our members.
Now I am pleased to announce that the Orchard Creek Computer Lab will also be accessible to Computer Club members whenever the Lab is not reserved by another club or is being used for classes. If the Computer Lab is locked, you can ask the Help Desk for the key to the Lab. You will not be able to permanently store files on the Computer Lab hard drives. If you create data you wish to retain while using the Computer Lab workstations, you can either email the data to yourself or you can save it to your USB flash drive that you bring with you.
The Computer Lab has Windows 7 and Microsoft Office installed on all twelve workstations. If you haven’t experienced the many advantages of Windows 7 and Office, you now have the opportunity to take them for a free test drive. Additionally, photography and genealogical programs are available on all twelve workstations.
Two months ago we started a Special Interest Group for those interested in Android smartphones. The initial meeting attracted about fifty members. If you are a present owner of an Android smartphone or are contemplating purchasing one, you will benefit from the round-table smartphone discussions that are held the first Friday of each month at 1:00 p.m. in the Multi-Media room at Orchard Creek.
