The St. Louis Area Computer Club is
the oldest continuing computer group in the St. Louis Metro Area.
Founded in 1976, we are a non-machine specific and non-Operating System (OS)
specific users group.
The next meeting is on Thursday, 1 May 2008.
You are invited to attend our meetings.
They are held on the first Thursday of every month from
6:00 PM until 9:00 PM. Meetings are free and open to the public.
A one dollar donation may be made toward the cost of the room;
otherwise, we have no membership dues. So, please join us at
our next meeting or event for fun, knowledge and networking.
All hardware and software is explored.
This group welcomes new PC user hardware and software configuration problems
because it is fun to fix them. Help with Linux, other Operating Systems and
hardware problems is usually available.
We hold a Linux Configuration Workshop when nothing else
more interesting comes up, or when there is no other event or activity scheduled.
Problems with other operating systems and hardware are also frequently fixed.
New software tools are often demonstrated.
Linux is an Internet capable Networking Operating System that provides
many fully functional applications that perform well on both older
and new computers. Most Linux distributions are free or low cost and
provides an extremely reliable and cost effective alternative to high
priced proprietary software.
The workshop is where we usually examine,
troubleshoot, fix and repair difficult hardware and software
configuration problems for Linux newcomers.
Bring your Linux PC to our hands on workshop to troubleshoot your Linux
installation, network connection or X Window GUI configuration problem.
We have full connectivity to the Internet on site and know how to use it.
Just remember to bring your PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, cords, power strips and two diskettes.
