Following is just informational for those of you who might not be signed up for the GGCS EMail Announcement List. If you have a new Tablet or Smart Phone and are a sea in its features, or are considering getting one, these event might be of interest. Also, after you master that device, you can use it with the Quicken Mobile feature. Babette SPECIAL CLASS As you probably know from your GGCS Newsletter, Chris and Jim Guld (Geeks on Tour) will be the presenters at our General Meeting next Monday, August 25th, talking about Tablets and Smart Phones in general. (Checkout their web site at www.geeksontour.com and http://geeksontour.tv/) In addition, the Gulds also offer a special class on the same topic for beginners, and we invited them to offer the following day, 8/26, in our new San Rafael classroom. The difference from their GM talk is that the class includes: * Individual hands-on training in a three-hour class. * Accompanying manual provided * Maximum 20 people - first come, first served * 3 hours in length and platform specific: 1:00 - 4:00 pm: Android smart phones and tablets 6:00 - 9:00 pm: iPhone and iPad * Cost: $45 per person for each class. If you want to enroll in the class, please Email me ASAP, because space is limited. We also ask that you send us a check as soon as I confirm your reservation. TABLET/SMART PHONE GGCS SIG The new Tablet/Smart Phone SIG will hold its first meeting on October 17th at 11:00 A.M. and on the Third Friday of each month thereafter. The October and November meetings will be held at the Belvedere-Tiburon Library, with their Techno Reference Librarian, Ivan Silva, available to help us with our devices and how best to use them, as well as how to use library resources with them. In December, we will move to our GGCS classroom in the First Presbyterian Church, San Rafael, where we have access to the San Rafael Library's resource folks to help us with tech questions. How long the SIG will continue meeting is entirely dependent on whether enough people are interested in continuing after December, and finding one or two people to be the SIG's Coordinators. More about that during our first meetings in Tiburon. If you plan to attend the Tablet Sig's October meeting, please let me know. I'll also pass around a signup sheet at next week's General Meeting, and Tiburon Library will announce the SIG in their Email Newsletter. Hope to see you at all things Table/Smart Phone!
