Every DAY, 200,000 people worldwide install Open Office -- the free, high quality alternative to Microsoft Office for writing on computers.
Big Blue and Cousins will teach you to become a better trained user of Open Office if you sign up for
the Saturday morning Open Office course, starting 27 Feb. 2010, 9:30am. Cost for the four session course is $60 for members and $70 for non members. The proposed days are 27 Feb, 13 Mar, 27 Mar, and 10 Apr. You can sign up by emailing me at <training@bbc.org>, or by putting your name and email address on the signup sheet near the back of the sign-in book on the M.I.C. desk. Seats are allocated on a first paid basis.
Long time member and instructor George Bowden will teach the course of 4 sessions, on WRITER the word processing program, and on CALC the spreadsheet program. This course is aimed at the beginning computer user who already types a few emails per week. This is part of our Less Expensive Software (L.E.S.) approach. One of the major club costs is keeping our software current, so free is a good cost. Also many world businesses and governments are moving to Open Office to minimize costs.
Since this is a fairly short time to the start of the first session on 27 Feb 2010, I ask your early response. Also George Bowden would like to limit this course to 9 Attendees.
