Hello, List Folks - SnoCo's own Dave Ault sent me this notice to be forwarded to the list... I know that for some of us, attending this most important and useful presentation means (#GASP#) crossing the county line... well worth it, though... Marge *************** The 10 September 2005 meeting of the Seattle Genealogical Society Computer Interest Group presents "Using Computers for Genealogy, The Basics". This program is intended for individuals who are either contemplating using a computer for genealogy, are just getting started with a computer, or are considering changes in their present hardware, software or peripherals. Experienced users are encouraged to attend to share their knowledge and experience with both the audience and the speaker. All members and friends are welcome to invite a member or friend who they believe will find this program of value. Computer Interest Group Chair, Dave Ault's presentation will begin with an explanation of some basic computer terminology. He will describe some computer software commonly used for genealogy and suggest ways that each type might be beneficial to your research and publishing tasks. Dave will explain and demonstrate some basic computer hardware components and peripheral equipment. He will discuss the tradeoffs to be made in selecting particular types of hardware. Finally, he will provide some options for Internet access and suggest places to get further help.
