January 8 Meeting

Mike did a great job of presenting a very complicated topic.  He explained about the origin of the universal email system and how it has developed over the years.  He also discussed how today's POP and STMP services work so we can more easily set up modern email accounts whether they be private programs or internet mail programs. 

Next week (January 16) he will further review the history and protocol for internet usage.

Nextdoor program presented at November 13 meeting

Our President, Mike Salter, has safely returned from his RVing adventure and hosted doughnuts at today's organizational meeting.

Mike handed out a survey sheet with a huge list of topics and asked members to fill it out with the kind of programs they would like presented this year.  We'll soon be able to post a list of upcoming topics.  If you have questions or suggestions, get them to Mike ASAP so they can be added to the agenda.

You can email to the club at:  palmcreekcomputerclub@gmail.com

Sandy Morin was present to talk more about the Nextdoor program and how it works.  This program has been presented on news programs across the nation and on Fox 10 locally.


We watched video clips from the news programs to learn more about how the program works and some of the success stories users have experienced.




It doesn't matter what level of experience you have with your computer.........there will be new learning for everyone!  We discuss computers, tablets, ipads, smartphones, etc. and will be presenting programs for everyone.  Come join us.

WELCOME BACK! First meeting of the 2013-14 season.

Welcome back to one and all!

President, Mike Salter, may not be back by that date so Sue Hepler will present the program on new Palm Creek websites and blogs.
