General Comments

Welcome to the SCScompA newsletter. The intention of this newsletter is to include summaries of information related to home computer use and other matters I believe to be of interest.

If you are reading this, you probably have a general idea who SCScompA is and what are our assistance offerings. This newsletter is aimed at providing information which has come up as part of our assistance offerings or which we have come across while reviewing other-than-SCScompA sources of information. It is intended to always give "credit" to the information-source -- but, I apologize in advance if I miss-credit something or someone!

Readers of this web page are encouraged to contact SCScompA with any information or pointers-to-information related to home computer use. Author credit (a "thank you") will always be given to contributors except if you prefer to remain anonymous. Sorry, no monetary credits will be given; this web page is intended to be a free service.

Select, from the entries below, which newsletter you are interested in.

Thanks and
Regards,

SCS Computer Assistance
