My affiliation with APCUG is through the Sarnia Computer Users’ Group where I
have been an APCUG rep. I was the editor of an APCUG award-winning newsletter
and am now VP of SCUG. We have a sister user group, COMP, who is affiliated with
APCUG.
I have worked with COMP with their help in teaching people in Port Huron, Michigan with PCs. Also I helped COMP rebuild computers for the blind when they won the APCUG Jerry Award. I created promotional videos on this project for COMP. I have been a book reviewer for O’Reilly Media for the past six years and have been writing a monthly tech column for a local newspaper for the past ten years. I created two free computer centers in the community. One has 30 PCs now run by church volunteers and the president of my computer users group. Another church gives me a room for a free tech workshop. I am designing a free website (alternatecloud. com) to assist seniors. Currently, I volunteer as a TV camera operator and studio/editing for TVCogeco, a local cable TV company. I have been teaching Mac computer courses at Lambton College for three years. In 1972, I worked as a data programmer on the IBM 360. The first home computer I owned was in 1984, a Mackintosh 128k. I have worked with all Windows OS since 3.0. Today I have a Mac laptop with Windows 7.
