.: Welcome to our Web Site :.
We are a small
group of Seniors with an avid desire to learn the correct use of
computers. So the web site has been a growing process of putting together a
more complex site as we grow. There are classes held here at the
Scottish Rite Center with hands on teaching for beginners and intermediate
learners. There are also classes for Digital Cameras, etc. Come
join us and find out just what we have going on. I will have a Computer on
the Internet so any problems can be seen if need be, at hand. I have e-mail
Live for those who need help with it too sometimes we have surprising e-mails to
view we can help with cleaning e-mails online.

Sept 9th [
Senior
Aces Computer Club ] presents Joel from
Computer Tech speaking on "Tips and Tricks" and "What is
Skype?", at the Scottish Rite Center at 1:30PM
On October 14th Andrea
Patterson from Rogue
Valley Genealogy Society will return
for another session on Genealogy on the Internet.
I am trying to
learn Linux, I will be using another computer hopefully running on a Linux
program called Karmic Koala I use a dual boot process to run either
Linux or Windows XP from within one computer its like having 2 computers
in one computer box. I can run the Linux program and not have to use space
on the Hard Disk until I make up my mind to install it on another
Partition on the same Hard Drive
or install it on another Hard Drive called a Slave Drive if wanted.
I want to put the Linux on a separate computer. There are lots of versions
of Linux that will work on Much OLDER Computers and that's where Linux
shines the different versions have the ability to run with a OLD Computer.
A program called Puppy Linux another called D.S.L short for Dammed
Small Linux. Look them up and find out if you are up to it they are down
sized versions of Karmic Koala which is the up to date version of Windows
7 or Vista the Linux programs are
free to download.
I
found out also that linux can run on flash drive memory that comes
with your digital Camera or a thumb drive. The system has the ability to
run only with your RAM not your Hard Drive so you can run it on a OLD
system and not install it right away just use the Ram Memory which would
make it lots faster not using your Mechanical Hard Drive. I have run the
Linux system with an OLD 466 MHZ system with 192 megs of "RAM" Memory when they
were used for Win 98 system. It will bomb out if you use too much megs of RAM Memory at a
time remember you are using "RAM" memory only and it is not almost
limitless as on a
Hard Drive. My computer I am using here right now has Win XP in it with only
1.2 Gigs of "Ram" but it is lots faster than the one with Win 98.
Don Haag brings his Clearwire Modem in
to support us with Internet via the wireless router I install each time we have a
meeting thanks to
him we have FREE Broadband Wireless Internet for everyone that wants to use it at our
meetings.

Doris told me that we may be having Andrea Patterson at our meetings here in
Medford to give instruction on how to use the Internet for searches of
our heritage.
Andrea Patterson of
R.V.G.S. ( Rogue Valley Genealogy Society ) did a presentation on
Beginning Genealogy with Q & A's on the
subject after the
presentation. I will save the Link to their web page in our links
area of the Senior ACES Page.
She has expressed a desire to come
back and give us another presentation as there are members who
want to learn more about Genealogy as it pertains to the use of the Computer
for Research of their blood lines.
Thanks for
coming Andrea we appreciate it immensely and also for volunteering again in
2009 she will give us a date when she will return in the future she
will be in touch. Thank Doris Chicano for her scheduling all of these
important meetings.

.: Our Society :.
We have replaced the big old heavy monitors with flat panel monitors, they are working
great now. Its lots
easier now to pick them up and transport them. If you need to get rid of
some of your excess electronics click here
We also have replaced the old
computers with all the same type ones that have a lot faster microprocessor.
They are desktop models with all the same software installed by George Thompson,
thank him for his help on the updates to the new computers.
I am not quite sure just how
many they bought, somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-25 total. They were
bought for a minimal price without hard drives. The
hard drives were removed from the old computers installed into the new
computers. They are really working great now
in the new computers they also weigh lots less and are easier to handle.
Now we have computers that are all the
same so we don't have to fake it with the software, the software in them is the
same totally and all the computers are the same internally and externally.
