Hi Jose,
Thank you from starting this topic up again. It's come up many times before.
People are making very good suggestions and a general training or review
of basics is in order.
If we are able to pass on the basic and very fundamental computer
concepts that will put give everyone a big advantage.
A good foundation of fundamentals puts us in a better position for more
advanced topics too.
Next meeting is June 20, but some may even chose to get involved before
hand.
I am busy too but will see what I can do and when. Been teaching some on
an individual basis.

I think it's a great idea too.
When I get back to my computer later today I will expand on what our
venue at the Central Library is doing for us and welcome entertaining
new ideas.
I have run into a good resource that I will be tutoring and mentoring
with for these topics.
Sorry got to go for now.
