Wanted / Unwanted
Do you have any phones, printers, cameras, DVD recorders, computers or parts of digital equipment that may be of no further use to you? It could be useful to another SeniorNet Nelson Member. Maybe you have a spare drive, stick of RAM, network cable or USB extension - anything from a complete computer package through to a a simple item such as a memory card. Chances are that someone else could use it - for mutual benefit.

Please come and join us - visitors are most welcome. No enrolment is required - just drop in if you are a financial member of SeniorNet Nelson.
The most recent workshop was all about networking:
Here are some links to the workshop material:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_area_network for networking development from the beginning.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite for Internet Protocol development.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireshark is software that enables you to capture network traffic as it flashes past so you can examine it at your leisure. Mostly we don't need to do that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAN_Manager For Windows 8 users, you can see that the system goes back to OS2 days which is almost the beginning of Windows 25 years ago. Still in use. Looks a bit different.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable all about the cables.
Tech Group Members are encouraged to lead discussion on any problem they have encountered, so that jointly we can find a solution.
