My comments: I don't know enough to make a presentation. (several times this comment was received)
This club is great!
It's time for a program on PalmTops and PIMS.
No one has mentioned is that there is more and more good FREE software showing up on the internet.
I would like to learn everything I can
that's not too complicated.
Hands on works best for me rather than reading a book or having someone else show how it's done.
SIG's are working very well.
Sig's and small groups seem to be beneficial.
