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.

Next General Meeting
Assisted Technologies
Holly Cohen from NYU's Rusk Institute
Thursday May 15, 2008
The meeting will highlight some of the helpful ways technology can assist people to live better,
and, in particular, to show what is available at NYU's Rusk Institute.
Our Speaker, Holly Cohen is a clinical specialist in assistive technology from NYU's Rusk Institute.
Some of the technology is simple and straightforward, but you may not have heard about it. However, much
of the new technology has been described as "Beyond the State of the Art". This is a unique opportunity
for people in need of help, or their caregivers, to learn how they may help themselves or others.
Stan Silver, long time NYPC member and our past president had ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease. Holly helped Stan manage his problems with mobility and communication on the computer and by voice. Stan organized this meeting and unfortunately did not live to see it happen. His hope was that the meeting would be a help to many others.
