Computer classes being offered at Winnipeg Street Leisure Centre

The Penticton Seniors Computer Club at 439 Winnipeg St. is signing up members for March and April classes. This is a reminder for seniors wishing to further their computer skills to come in on Tuesday mornings at 11 a.m. to sign up for classes.

There are vacancies for March and April in Genealogy, Beginners XP, Email and Internet, making greeting and business cards in Printmaster; Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010. Ron will walk you through Photoshop Elements 5, showing you how to improve your pictures.

There are vacancies for April in Intermediate, which explains the workings of your computer, and Spreadsheets, which is an accounting program, but could also be used for inventory of household goods and medical records.

Something new has been added to our programs. How about transferring VHS tapes to DVD? VHS tapes are going the way of dodo bird, DVDs are the in thing, according to Bernie.

Saturday lectures will be “How to use the Internet to find, copy and burn all the knowledge of the world”.

Wednesday afternoon class with Doug, is a continuous program of making CDs with music and pictures or creating a website.

There will no Mac classes during March, classes will resume in April and May. Be sure to pop in to sign up for Mac classes on Tuesday morning at 11 a.m.
