Our SIGs cover a broad spectrum of user interest; they invite you, whether you rank as beginner or seasoned expert, to take in the lectures and demonstrations they sponsor, and to share computer knowledge. Our 14 Special Interest Groups range from operating systems to smart phones. Please see the Newsletter PDF for leaders and reports. Check out the SIGS menu link above.
Get Help with your current Computer Problems. NOCCC volunteers, experts in their fields, stand ready to assist with your problems, as close as your telephone. This is published in the Orange Bytes print edition and is available primarily to members only.
Portions of the meetings where you ask your question of the entire assemblage, and more than likely someone will have the answer.
We have a links file, built up over the years, by members who found an interesting link and wanted to share it. Unfortunately, some of these links are broken. You might want to help in finding broken links.
We have a consignment table on alternate, even months, in which we assist members to sell or buy all kinds of computer items. To help you keep track of consignment items, here is a PDF form that may help you organize and price your items. Click here. Print the form at home, fill it out, and bring it with your items to Irvine Hall on even months.
You may also bring electronic waste hardware (e-waste) for disposal on these even months.
You are given opportunities to help our activities with interesting assignments. As an all-volunteer organization, you can join with other members in a variety of activities, from the writing of articles for our newsmagazine to conducting a seminar, and more. Openings exist for SIG leaders. Contact President Dr. Don Armstrong (president@noccc.org) if interested.
