As with many things in life, the Kankakee River Valley Computer Users Group has passed into history.
Started when computers were a rarity/novelty, it served a purpose of assisting new users in programming and utilization. At the end of its life, computers are everywhere, from our car engines to our pockets, and the need for a specialized group such as KRVCUG has diminished.
Certainly there are those who still need basic tutorials in certain particular programs, but with the rise of the internet, such step-by-steps are a single search engine query away.
The site will remain active until early 2018 when our domain name registration expires. If you need to contact anyone from the group, you can use the email links to the right.
Take care,
Mark

KRVCUG MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
MARCH 11, 2017
HOSTS: Mark and Kim Duhon
PROGRAM:
Unknown - No topic/write-up was received. So, to whatever Mark and Kim
may have planned, we'll have contributions from members who wish to share,
including a tour of the new Wikipedia. We'll use the projector so that
everyone can read. If you have a demo that could benefit from the
projector, this Saturday would be a good time to present it. Perhaps Jim
will continue with the photo book demo and show us how to manipulate
the software he used to layout his books. Maybe Kelly and Paul will have
something new to report. Come, mingle and learn.
REFRESHMENTS:
Remember, it's potluck refreshments, so bring something exciting with
you (dead bird - (chicken))... yes, if you have friends or associates who would appreciate
learning something new about computers, bring them too! In January, we
decided not to spend money from the treasury, that's why we're doing the
potluck.
SPRING:
We know it's spring and it's time to set your clocks ahead this Sunday
night. There was a desire to have a gardening program to help you plan
your garden. However, one of our members who is also a member of the
Garden Club, wasn't able to put anything together, yet. Maybe there'll
be time in April. We'll see what our April hosts: Fran and company have
in store for us.
SPRING CLEANING:
It's time to clean and reorganize. Should you have anything that you
would like to give away, sell or barter - bring it to the next three
meetings! We're bound to find a good home for computer equipment,
peripherals, electronics, books and magazines.
Get into the spring of things slowly. Build those winter muscles back up and keep safe.
What do computers eat for a snack? Microchips!
