Computer Club

We had our first Claremont Computer Club this afternoon, after the early morning study on Romans with the Friday morning group of women, after Cousin Els' piano lesson on Baby Grand Manan piano. The 'girls' started arriving at 1 pm, setting up their laptops on the kitchen table. The training began. Carolyn arrived at 2:30 armed with binders filled with information. She gave an overview of computer terms and then we had them type up a document and learn how to 'file' it.

Then it was personal time on their computers, and Carolyn and I circulated around the table, trying to keep them all going. By the time the ladies left I think their heads were filled with so much information that they didn't even know who they were anymore. One woman remarked that she learned a lot, but didn't know what she learned. Did we succeed? Not so sure. Except for Verna, who was so excited about her computer and what she was learning that she forgot she had another appointment to go to, and flew out of the house.

What to do next? Order donairs from Greco, and then spend the rest of the evening on computers, updating this website and connecting printers to computers.
