Windows 7 Basics — A Workshop

On Monday, August 16, 2010, the Computer Club is sponsoring the second workshop of the year. The topic is Windows 7 Basics. It is designed for people who are new to Windows 7. Perhaps you recently purchased a new computer running the latest operating system. It is similar to Vista and looks very different from XP.

We will cover desktop features, the Start Menu and Gadgets. Some of the new features like Aero Shake and Snap are cool ways to bring windows to the front or resize and compare windows. See updates to the Taskbar. Check out Documents, Computer and Control Panel, formerly known as My Documents, My Computer and Control Panel, respectively. All have new refinements. Of course, there is much more...

The location of the workshop is the Senior Center of Big Bear Valley. The time will be 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM. We will break for about 30 minutes for lunch.

Plan to bring a laptop, if you have one. If not, please let me know. We can provide one or two for the workshop. The requested donation for attending the workshop is $15 per person. That includes lunch at the Senior Center.
