Aberdeen East Computer Club Members eager to learn about Windows Vista

The "new and unknown" Vista operating system was the order of the day as Pamela Tabak explained how Windows Vista was very different from the previous version of Windows. Pamela showed many new features that were contained in the Ultimate version of the Windows Vista operating system comparing them with Windows XP.

Pamela ran short PowerPoint presentations showing Vista features that need to be learned in order to run the new operating system with ease and showed many of the improvements over previous versions of Windows.

Everyone agreed that the Vista graphics are outstanding and Pamela stated that "it certainly makes using the computer an artistic experience!"

The members asked interesting questions pertaining to Vista as well as Windows XP and Pamela explained how to make files and folders, clean up the desktop, arrange the start menu, printing problems, inserting a picture into an email, using the Internet and many more features were covered in both operating systems.

Security was a large part of the discussion and Pamela explained that if the members ran "Computer Maintenance" regularly most computer "glitches" would be avoided.

After the demonstration Pamela talked about the benefits of belonging to the Boca Raton Computer Society and attending her Novice and Intermediate SIGs on the third Tuesday of every month and the EXCEL SIG before the BRCS General Meeting on the third Wednesday of the month during the winter months. Pamela also invited the members to take advantage of her FREE 24 hour tech support by EMAIL The answer to the members' questions usually arrives within 24 hours.

The meeting closed with refreshments supplied by the committee and members gathering around Pamela to ask additional questions.

Two of the Aberdeen Board Members, Jerry Kahn and Herb Foxman, expressed their thanks to Pamela by sending he a testimonial to publish on her website.
