The mission of the Computer Group (Advanced) is to expand the knowledge of
computer users who already know the basics of computer hardware, and are
familiar with an operating system and basic user applications such as: web
browsing, E-mail, and word processing. The Advanced Group introduces its
members to a wider range of user applications (both practical and entertaining)
as well as more sophisticated techniques for maintaining and repairing their
computers. The group attempts to address the needs of non-hobbyist computer
users who want to go beyond the basics as well as the interests of more
hobbyist-oriented or "techie" users with strong interests in evolving computer
hardware and software technology. At present the group is largely oriented to
PC's; however, as more owners embrace Apple (and other) non-PC devices, the
group's instructional materials and interests will be expanded to include
these technologies.
