This is our sixth year offering this unique hands-on workshop. It continues to be extremely popular. We offer to help you repair, upgrade or use your own computer. That's right, bring in your computer from home. Also bring any specialized components such as external power supplies for laptops or USB keyboards or mice. If you can find your operating system disk and your restore disk, please bring those as well. For most desktop computers, we'll supply a  monitor, keyboard, mouse, power cords and an Ethernet connection to the Internet.

This event is often noisy and very busy. It's a room full of people who love to work on computers. Come prepared to ask a question, solve a problem, or learn how to do something specific. We won't be "teaching" in the usual sense.

The previous times we offered this workshop were all great successes. The growing number of participants have had most of their problems and issues solved or questions answered.

You may bring new components, accessories, or software to install which you have purchased elsewhere or in our Computer Thrift Store. An instructor, tech trainees, and volunteers will be in the workshop to help answer your questions and guide you in working on your computer.

VERY IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

This workshop is an opportunity to learn more about your computer. It should not be used in place of having professional repair people work on your computer. You should not bring a computer which is critical to your studies or your work. While we will take precautions against creating problems, anything could happen to the computers at this session.

We will not take responsibility for any mistakes made or problems created during this workshop. We have limited capacity to do some data backup, but we suggest you backup your data before coming.
