Introducing NYPC

NYPC is a non-profit educational organization that brings together computer users at all levels to share their knowledge and enjoyment of computers and computing. We have monthly general meetings that are free and open to the public. We have a full set of classes and workshops every month. At our Special Interest Groups (SIGs) users of applications like Photoshop, Excel, Flash, Visual Basic, Exchange, Ventura, Linux and much more get together monthly to share information, tips and tricks. 

General Meetings

NYPC holds a General Meeting (really a presentation) on the third Thursday of every month at 6 PM. The general meetings are free and open to the public. We usually meet in the Auditorium of PS 41 on 11th Street in Manhattan, just west of Sixth Avenue. During the summer months we meet in other air conditioned locations. More . . .

Next General Meeting

Running PC Programs on a Mac

Wednesday August 20, 2008

Back by popular demand!
For the FOURTH time, we will offer this presentation at Tekserve
As before, pre-registration is required.

There are several ways to run PC programs on a Mac. One is Boot Camp, which is free from Apple. The down side is that you need to shut down one OS and re-boot the other. Also, you can't cut and paste between applications running in different OSs.

Another approach is virtual. Using Parallels Desktop for the Mac software, Windows and OSX can both be running at the same time (assuming the Mac has the newer Intel chips). Why bother?   More . . .

Note: the meeting is NOT at our usual location. It will be at: Tekserve
119 West 23rd Street (Just West of Sixth Avenue)
The Meeting is Free and Open to All
6:00PM   Presentation
8:00PM   Tekserve closes



Classes

NYPC offers a full set of classes and workshops every month. For most classes there is a modest fee, a handful are free. Our classes are open to the public, NYPC members receive a slight discount. We have a separate web site for education.
