Our Old Computer Room...circa 2002-2010
We
have two computer rooms for use by computer club members.
The
original Computer Room now contains 1 desktop computer, a printer and 3 laptops.
It
is a friendly place to do tasks on equipment that you might not have at home or
you may want to "surf the web", check your "E-Mail" or be
trained on various computer applications by our "Instructors".
The
Computer Photo Lab contains 2 desktop computers, 3 laptops, 2 MAC's, a scanner
and printer.
Both
Computer Rooms are another of the many club activities that make membership worthwhile.
You can access these rooms after you pass the certification test or come to the
OPEN LABS from 1pm to 3pm on Fridays and you will be helped by our instructors.
Computer Room Administration...
Computer Room users must be current Computer Club members. Access is granted by
the Administrator's, Instructors and members holding a certification card. An
Instructor must be present at all times when a non-certified member is using the
computers.
The Chief Administrator (Computer Club President) reviews computer room activity
and reports given to him by the Administrators.
Administrators
(Terry
Brown, Don Raun and Gerry Stier)
are responsible for installing, up-dating and maintaining the Computer Rooms.
Administrators
teach and authorize the "Instructors".
Administrators
can delegate or authorize anyone to install, up-date, modify or maintain hardware
and/or software.
Authorized
"Instructors" will maintain control over the computer rooms
and help users with their needs while monitoring their actions.
Instructors
will be friendly, but always alert to train and warn users of inappropriate uses
of the computers.
Certified
users may use the Computer Rooms by showing their identification card to the Front
Desk and obtaining a key to the room.

Warning!!
Many of our members have webmail, screennames or other user id's/passwords in
order to access applicable internet systems. When on-line, interactive internet
systems sometimes ask the user to "SAVE" certain passwords, etc. Never
"SAVE" these passwords on the Computer Club's computers.
