This year, 2025, marks the 50th Anniversary of the New York Amateur Computer Club.
Since 1975, we’ve been offering presentations, free and open to the public, on various topics pertaining to computer technology, from mundane to technical, from old to new.

NYACC General Meeting
Thursday, October 9th
at 7PM
(Join-in earlier at 6:45pm
for “Wellness Check Chatter”)

This meeting will be conducted online via Zoom

Double Feature for this month …

AI in the Classroom
and
Using Expired Versions of MS Office

The Pros and Cons
of Artificial Intelligence
in the Classroom

Presented by
Dina Schlesinger
with Cecilia Evasco and David Sherman

AI-robot-teacher

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the classroom — and stirring up big questions. Are students using AI to write their essays? Could teachers be replaced by software?

Dina will have a conversation with two educators who have different views about AI in the classroom. You will also learn about schools that are run entirely by AI, with no teachers at all.

More Microsoft Tips from Hank Kee

Presented by Hank Kee
of The Personal Computer Radio Show
and NYACC Board Member

Support has expired for old versions of Microsoft Office up to 2019. After Dina’s presentation, Hank will give us some notes about how to use Microsoft Office 2003 through 2019 on Windows 11, including some workarounds in case the system tries to fight with you about it.

Date and Time:
Thursday, October 9th, at 7 PM (Eastern Time) via Zoom.

In the meantime,
please visit our new BBS and Live Chat Room …

New York Amateur Computer Club
BBS and Live Chat Room

Club member Brendan Kidwell has set up a Bulletin Board System (BBS) and a live chat room for the New York Amateur Computer Club.

The BBS is for discussions about everything the club might discuss in our general or special interest group meetings. Messages are arranged by topic and thread. Ask your computer questions and share your expertise and experiences here!
This is also a good place for setting up trades and selling used equipment that others might need.
This will also be used for text announcements and to help us stay in touch during the pandemic crisis.

The chat room allows us to text chat LIVE with each other as a group — whoever happens to be online in the chat room at any given moment.

BBS: https://nyacctalk.glump.net/

Chat room: https://web.libera.chat/#nyacc

Brendan will monitor and participate in both resources. If you have trouble accessing either system, please email Brendan directly at brendan@glump.net
