TCS - Special Projects Report
Special Projects Report
by Don Singleton
Tulsa Computer Society
From the December 1997 issue of the I/O Port Newsletter
On the first Monday of each month we have what we call our Special Projects meeting, where we present programs that some members have requested, but which don't seem to directly fit in any particular SIG meeting. On November 3 we covered the vast amount of technical information that big computer companies make available, both on CD Roms (which are usually purchased by the technical support departments of large companies, and on the Internet, where the same information is available to everyone with a connection to the Internet. We went to the Microsoft Knowledge Base, available both on its TechNet CD, and on its web page, and checked out some information on the Date field in Access. We went to the Symantec web page and checked out some information on scripts for PC Anywhere, and tried to find documentation on Norton Utilities for a member who could not locate his manual for the product. We also went to the Novell web page, and found all of the technical papers for a specific version of Netware used by one of the attendees. As we ran down the list of titles available, one on the Year 2000 problem caught his eye, so we read that paper, and then I took the group to the http://www.tcs.org/year2000.htm web page to show them the links I captured for a program I am presenting later this month for the Tulsa Engineering Foundation.
The December 1 Special Projects meeting will be devoted to Getting Started with Communications and the Internet. That means that there will be three presentations of frequently requested subject the first week in December, at 7:30 pm in room M1 of Keplinger Hall, 5th and Harvard, and at 3:00 pm and again at 7:00 pm in the Owasso Community Center, 301 S Cedar, Owasso. If you are new to computers but want to learn more about the Internet, try to come to one of those three meetings.
