w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chelsea</st1:place></st1:City> mens Shed.<br>
At present I have worked through what is a computer by taking the men through
the need to keep a computer clean. we dismantled a computer and
thoroughly cleaned the dust from an old pentium we had been given. Now the men
are interested in the basics of the various programs like Word ,Escel,
database, Publisdher etc as they put together their own notices for
events. <br>
My knowledge is somewhat damage since the my brain aneurysm. <br>
Asssitance in locating where I may obtain 'open ' software to perform the
various function at minimum or gratious costs would be appreciated.
acknowledgements of all assistants would be acknowledge by the group in their
endeavours.<br>
my thanks in advance.<br>
