New Web Site

Last Updated (Sunday, 24 January 2010 17:16)

PCC's website has changed. It is now created by a content management system, Joomla, an Open Source application. This means that contributors can now edit and submit their own content without knowing HTML by entering it onto the site in a manner similar to using a word processor. This also allows us to put special offers and information available only for members on the website. To access that content, you will need to register as a user.

Click on the link to register in the left menu. You must be a member of the PC Community Computer User Group in order to register. Once registered, you can view the additional content, access the PCC Forum, submit photos and other files or web links and more. We are also looking for anyone who would like to write a computer-related blog.

Articles on the site can be printed, converted to PDFs or emailed by clicking on the appropriate icons at the top of the article. Try it out and let the webmaster know if you have any questions or suggestions for additional content. 

Recycling Heroes

A big thank you! to the many members who spend their Saturdays and Wednesday evenings recycling motherboards, cards and CPU processors. The recycling has generated additional revenue for PC Community, allowing us to purchase additional parts and software licenses.

Computer Donations

Since July 2003, PCC has given away more than 400 refurbished computers with operating systems that have evolved from Microsoft Windows 98 SE, Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows XP. These have been installed for a wide variety of members of the local community. Special thanks to all those members who hang out at the Clubhouse and work on computers and to those who donate their computers for recycling. Newer computers are refurbished and older computers are broken down for recovery in recycling centers. Make a donation of computers or peripherals to PCC.

The Clubhouse

The Clubhouse at the Hayward Adult School is open on Wednesdays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10:00 am. to 4:00 pm. Please check the Calendar to get the most up-to-date information on the Clubhouse dates and times.
