I asked everyone who attended yesterday’s Computer Club meeting
if they’d fill in a questionnaire for me … to see if anyone
would be interested in the following topics, and to ask if they
would suggest some new topics. A few good suggestions were made,
which I’ve added to the bottom of this list.
Please would you let me know which topics you’d be interested
in learning more about?
Please would you also add a few more topics onto the list … even
if what you’d like are for absolute beginners ?
As regards those of you who have already completed the
questionnaire, please would you let me know if you’re interested
in any of the topics numbered 23 – 26 ?
( R = repeat/update of talk given recently)
1.Please would you let me know if you have a DVD writer on your
computer?
2. Please would you let me know if you have Windows Vista?
