Computer Club programs proving popular

Dianne Thomson

The time and date for the February Computer Club program Cutting the Cable is changing to Thursday, February 20, at 10:00 a.m. in the Ballroom.

Once upon a time, Computer Club programs, open to the entire community, were held in the Fine Arts Room of the A&T building. When attendance outgrew that venue, the club began holding its meetings in the Silver Rooms. Then, as attendance continued to increase, even those rooms were not large enough, so programs are now scheduled for the Ballroom, generally at 7:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month except summer.

However, due to a conflict for the ballroom during our regularly scheduled February meeting, the time and date will be changed to Thursday, February 20, at 10:00 a.m.

February’s topic has proven quite popular to Quail Creek audiences over the past three years. The program, Cutting the Cable, will offer information on how to save money on cable or satellite charges by using new technology to bring television programming to residents’ TVs, often making it possible to lower or eliminate cable costs. Amazingly, the technology that enables transferring content from computer to TV has changed so significantly year after year, that each of the Cutting the Cable programs is quite different. The speaker, David Andersen, is very knowledgeable on this subject and will be glad to take questions during and after the presentation.

There is no need to sign up or be a club member to attend meetings. Anyone thinking of joining the Computer Club can sign up at this and any meeting. Dues haven’t changed in the club’s twelve year history; $20.00 for one person and an additional $10.00 for a second family member for calendar year 2014.
