P.C.S. Overview:

History

Early Days (Late 1980’s to 1993)

Word has it the PCS started as a Commodore Club in the late 1980’s with meetings at one of the member’s home on Parr Street in Prescott Valley. A special interest group dedicated to the GEOS Operating System was quite active. GEOS is an operating system for the

Commodore computer, based on the Apple Operating system. From 1990 to about 1992 the president was Karl Meiser and from 1992 to 1993 it was Frank Granger.

The Move to Embry Riddle University (1993 to 1998)

In 1993 Richard Pearce became president and the meetings were moved to a classroom

(Building 60A) at Embry Riddle University. The PCS was dedicated to

“Users of MS-DOS

Computers” and roughly monthly meetings were held. About 20 to 40 people attended the meetings (almost no women).

A desktop computer and an overhead projector provided by Embry Riddle were used during the meetings. Annual dues were $12.00 and membership had increased to about 50 to 70 members with about 30 to 40 active members attending monthly meetings.

By about 1997 there were five special interest groups operating in the PCS. These included an Internet SIG (run by Mary Swing), an Investment SIG (run by Dean Bailey), a GEOS SIG

(run at a firm named I.T. Technologies), a Programming SIG (run by Derek Brownlee) and a

WIN96 SIG (run by Gamy Gamesfelder). Derek Brownlee also operated a Shareware

Service where members could obtain floppy disks with useful programs from the PCS program library. Computer swap meets were held annually where members would bring their surplus equipment and software for sale at a silent bidding auction.

There was a four member Board of Directors including a President, a Vice-President, a

Secretary, and a Treasurer. In April 1996 Jack McAllister succeeded Richard Pearce as

President. Unfortunately Jack’s health deteriorated and he was succeeded by Roy Leroux as President of PCS in December 1996. Andy Reti joined the PCS in April 1995 shortly after arriving in Prescott from California and was put in charge of maintaining the membership roster.

History (continued)

A monthly newsletter, named the Messenger was published regularly with meeting notices and useful technical hints. The PCS made annual contributions of $250.00 to Embry Riddle

"in appreciation for letting us use the classroom for our meetings."

Move to the Prescott Public Library

Andy Reti - President

In February 1998 Roy Leroux resigned from the presidency and Andy Reti was elected as the new President of PCS. One of the first things Andy advocated was moving the meetings of the PCS to the downtown Prescott Public Library. It was apparent that the Embry Riddle classroom could no longer accommodate the 40 to 60 members attending our meetings.

Also it was felt that meetings at a more central location would attract more members.

An intense public relations program was started with the preparation of tri-fold brochure copies of which were distributed to local stores and other computer related organizations.

Announcements and articles were placed in the Prescott Courier and in flyers distributed with the billings of the local Internet Service Providers (Northlink and BS Computers). A PCS web page was designed with the help of Susan Noyes and was placed on the Northlink web site.

In June 1998 a PCS Mission Statement and a set of By-Laws were drafted for approval by the membership and the Board of Directors was expanded to include nine members, four of which were officers. Regular bi-monthly Board meetings were scheduled with minutes of the meetings circulated to the membership. The PCS newsletter, the Messenger, was expanded and a new more detailed Membership Directory was started to include a detailed description of the computer equipment, software and computer skills of each member.

In June 1998 we raised the Society dues to $18.00 per year to increase reserves since we expected that with the move to the Library we would have purchase our own projection equipment. As a result of the increased dues, the growing membership and individual donations, we were able to accumulate about $2,000 and in early 1999 we purchased our own second hand nView Infinity Digital Projector from the Crystal River User Group in

Florida for $1,500.

History (continued)

Starting in 1999 we began a well received practice of honoring our Board Members and individual members who had contributed to the success of the PCS at an Annual Board

Dinner at a local restaurant. The dinner was intended to recognize the year long efforts and hard work of Board members and other members of PCS.

In cooperation with the Public Library we started a computer mentoring program, first under the direction of Bruce Stull and later Edi Richards. The program is designed to support library patrons by training them to use the Library’s computer resources

Outside activities by the PCS included a series of beginner computer classes given at the

Sacred Heart High School and at the Yavapai College by Rick Rohrbach and Andy Reti.

These eight week classes raised additional funds for the PCS in anticipation of buying a notebook computer for the PCS.

Membership gradually increased and in 2000 reached about 140. In December 1999 membership dues were raised to $30.00 a year to cover the anticipated expenses for buying new equipment. In July 2000 we purchased an IBM A20 1UU laptop for about $1,900 for the

PCS and in August 2002 we replaced our obsolete digital projector with a new Sanyo XU-

07N digital projector for about $2350.

All through the years, since about 1996 the PCS struggled with the issue of obtaining nonprofit status from the state of Arizona. Filing as a corporate entity was attempted but the legal entanglements just proved too much for the Board, where turnover of members prevented continuity of effort in this area. Finally the effort was abandoned.

In about March 1998 we joined the Association of Personal Computer Users (APCUG) a nationwide organization of user groups. A few PCS members attended the annual meetings of the APCUG held in Las Vegas in conjunction with the annual Comdex meetings. In 2000 the APCUG awarded first prize to our web site as the most useful and best designed web site among all the sites of the APCUG membership.

Mark Davis

– President

In March 2001 Mark Davis was elected President of the PCS, taking over from Andy Reti who decided not to run for president after three years of service. Mark was president for two years and continued to develop continually improving programs for the Society. He revitalized the topics discussed in the Internet SIG by emphasizing wireless communications and accessing and searching the Internet.

During Mark’s tenure several new SIG’s were launched including the Hardware SIG (run by

Dave Sundquist and Norm Foster), the Web Design SIG (run by Susan Noyes), the Quicken

SIG (run by Andy Reti) the Digital Photo SIG (run first by Andy Reti and later by Phil Ball)

Membership increased to about 135 and later stabilized at that number.

In July 2002 we decided to establish an annual PCS scholarship to be awarded to a student at Yavapai College, based on financial need, academic performance and an interest in computers. The first $300.00 stipend for the year 2003 was awarded to William Welker who also received a free one-year membership in PCS as part of the award. The second award was made in July 2004 to Diane Murphy. We plan to continue awarding annual scholarships to worthy students at Yavapai College.

Bob Simpson

– President

In March 2003 Bob Simpson was elected President of the PCS. Bob brought many new fresh initiatives to the Society. He expanded the Special Interest Group programs to include more topics. He initiated an association with the Arizona Alliance of Computer Clubs

(AZACC) which provides speakers to user groups in Arizona. He initiated a complete revision of the PCS web site to make the information more easily accessible and simplify searching.

In January 2005 we voted to replace our Sanyo digital projector with a new, more up-to-date projector and purchased a Toshiba TDP-T91U projector for about $1,800. In May 2005 the

BOD also voted to purchase a new laptop for the PCS to replace our old laptop which was over three years old and was beginning to be too slow for the new software. We purchased an IBM model T42 model 2373HTU for about $2,300.

PCS History Updates

Since this history was originally written, PCS was forced to move from the Prescott Public

Library for over one year while the Library underwent significant remodeling. We took up temporary quarters in the Prescott Adult Center, just a few blocks away, for the duration.

Early in 2007 we returned to the Library which we now consider to be our permanent home.

The new facilities are much improved over anything we have experienced before. The

Library now features built-in audio and video equipment, comfortable chairs and a large room which our growing membership appreciates.

March 2007: Bob Simpson stepped down from his apparent "permanent" position as

President to spend more time on his growing computer consultation business. Dave Emery was chosen to replace Bob and is presently serving as our President.

March 2009: Dave Emery decided to take a bit of a breather as our president and swapped positions with his Vice-President, Ray Carlson.

March 2011: We welcomed two new members, Joan Baum and Joan Fullmore, to the

Board. They filled positions vacated by Nikki Krause and Bob Matthies.

March 2012: We welcomed two new members, John Carter and Murray Smolens, to the

Board. They filled positions vacated by Dave Emery and Andy Reti.

April 2012: We started holding joint meetings with the Prescott Mac Users Group with John

Carter and Jim Hamm of the PMUG conducting some of the meetings. We found that the interests of the PCS and the PMUG overlap in many areas and both organizations can benefit from joint meetings.

March 2013: We welcomed Rich Knapfel to the Board. Rich filled a position vacated by

Herman Schloss

Membership Interests

Our approximately 130 members are from the local communities of Yavapai County,

Arizona. These areas include Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Mayer, Dewey-

Humboldt and Paulden.

Anyone with an interest in computers is welcome to attend our meetings and join PCS.

Owning a computer is not a requirement for membership.

Our primary attention is focused on IBM-compatible computers and associated software but anyone with an interest in personal or small business computing will find both basic and advanced information by attending our club’s meetings.

Community Involvement

The Prescott Computer Society is an educational organization for individuals interested in learning more about using PC-based computers. As one facet of its operation, PCS occasionally provides financial support for people interested in moving into computer-based employment, particularly those with limited financial resources.

Many PCS members are actively involved in computer-related functions associated with local community organizations. For example, our members:

Conduct various free computer mentoring programs at the Prescott Public Library. By doing so, the students receive individual attention in working with public computers available at the

Library.

Assist veterans at the local Veterans Affairs hospital with their various photography needs.

Teach computer-oriented classes at Yavapai College either directly as instructors or through the OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) program.

Collect used computer equipment and run a refurbishing operation which donates working computers to those individuals in need of them.

Write short Question and Answer columns of general computer interest for inclusion in the local newspaper "The Daily Courier"

Biographies:

President: Ray Carlson

Originally from Pennsylvania, I got my Ph.D. at the University of Chicago and then was a faculty member at the University of

Pennsylvania for a number of years.

When my wife and I got tired of living in large cities, I accepted the offer of a faculty position with Dalhousie University in

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and went there for 25 years.

One of my roles was to identify ways the University could take advantage of the increasing availability of personal computers.

I retired in 2001, and Bonnie and I moved to Prescott in 2002. Here in Prescott, I have taken on a variety of volunteer roles, including being a docent at the Smoki Museum and being part of the choir and the chair of the Finance Committee at the United Methodist Church. I also developed and maintain the websites for the Smoki Museum and the Prescott Sunup

Rotary Club.

In 2005, I joined the Board of the Prescott Computer Society for a year and took on the role of Treasurer to fill out the term of a member who moved away.

In 2008, I was elected to the Board and served as Vice President with responsibility for the programs for the General Meetings. In 2009, I took on the role of President and continued with the responsibility for the General Programs.

Being a member of the Board has been helpful to me creating pressure to keep up-to-date on a variety of computer-related topics as I develop some of the articles for the Courier and search out programs for the General Meetings. In addition, I have enjoyed getting to know the other Board members who I have found to be unusually responsible but also amiable in tackling the numerous issues that confront any organization.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I become a PCS member?

The easiest way is to fill out a membership application and bring it and a check made out to PCS for your dues through the end of the year to any meeting and give both to a PCS officer or other responsible person. We'll see that you get on the weekly newsletter mailing list, have access to our membership list and other benefits. Dues are $24 for a full calendar year.

During this difficult economic climate, the PCS Board has tried to be as frugal as possible.

For example, our newspaper columns have provided excellent free publicity. We have encouraged ourselves as well as our members to use free software. In 2010 the Board set the annual dues at $24, a twenty percent reduction from the previous year.

For more information regarding joining PCS, please contact the Membership Chair, Murray

Smolens.

Why haven't I been getting my weekly email newsletter?

The weekly email newsletter is usually sent out every Monday morning. If you have not been receiving it promptly, there could be several reasons why this might happen.

1) The newsletter is sent out using this address:

It's possible that this address has been erroneously listed as a spammer. You should check the blacklist (remove the PCS address from here) and whitelist (add the PCS address to here) sections of your email provider's website as appropriate.

2) If you have changed your email address recently and forgotten to tell us, please inform us of your new address here.

3) Your PCS membership may have expired. Usually memberships expire at the end of the year and your newsletter subscription will be terminated after a few months of gentle reminders. Some memberships happen to be on a different schedule. To check on the status of your membership, when it expires, etc., please contact the Membership Chair,

Murray Smolens.

Prescott Computer Society – Press Kit Page 15

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

How can I get into the Members-only area of the website?

The Members-only area of the website contains our membership list, photos of some members and back issues of the weekly email newsletter. For privacy reasons and to keep our members from receiving spam, we restrict access to only those members who have set up user accounts. To obtain a user account and password, you will need to be a current

PCS member and contact the web-keeper with your choice of User Name. We will open an account for you and email you back with a temporary password.

To further protect our members, if your PCS membership expires, your user account will be terminated.

How can I get a new name tag to wear at the General meeting?

Please contact Phil Ball and ask him to make you up a new one. The tag will be waiting for you at the next General meeting.

What can I do with some old but still usable computers or computer equipment that I have?

You have many choices in this area. You can try to sell or give away your equipment and there are local organizations which will take all your old equipment off your hands. For more complete info, check out the Recycling page. Also, see the following question about why there are tables in the back of the meeting room.

Why are there tables of computer items at the back of the room during some PCS meetings?

At the General meetings, we usually conduct a raffle of computer items for your enjoyment and to encourage your attendance until the end of the session. A PCS Board member will hand out a pair of tickets to all attendees before and during the meeting. Simply take one of the tickets and place it on or near the item you would like to win and retain the other ticket.

At the end of the meeting, a drawing will be held and the prizes awarded.

On other occasions, people will bring computer items that are still useful but they no longer want. Anyone is free to take any of these giveaway items for their use. There's no raffle here

- first come, first served. If you take an item and later find out that it's not what you wanted, please feel free to bring it back to the next meeting and pass it on to someone else.

Prescott Computer Society – Press Kit Page 16

Prescott Computer Society - Press Kit

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

Yes, sometimes the items on the "Raffle" table are mistaken for items on the "Giveaway" table. Please pay attention to the tables so you don't confuse the two. If, for instance, you mistakenly snatch up that nice printer on the "Raffle" table that already has tickets on it, we will have choice but to track you down and take it away from you!

What do you do with the used ink and toner cartridges you collect at the General meeting?

PCS has an arrangement with Think4Inc, a local merchant which sells printer supplies. They refill our used cartridges and sell them at their two stores in Prescott and Prescott Valley. In return, they give PCS credit and we use those credits to purchase office supplies from them.

As a result, we all benefit from reusing your old cartridges.

How do I give a presentation on a computer-related topic with which I am familiar?

We are always looking for some new people and talent to give presentations at our meetings - they can be of whatever length you feel comfortable doing. If you have attended our meetings, you will notice that some presentations fill the entire two-hour time slot and others are much shorter, even to the point of being "fill-ins". We would be glad to accommodate your wishes and abilities. Please contact Ray Carlson and give him the basic information about your proposed presentation. He will be pleased to review your proposal and determine where it best fits into our schedule and mission.

For some information about how to run a presentation for PCS (and other organizations) or just to find out what the typical PCS presentation entails, you will find the following articles very informative.

(Prescott, AZ.) – The Prescott Computer Society, of Prescott, AZ., announced today that they will be holding a Cloud Technology Seminar, as part of their monthly general meeting, on Saturday, March 16th at 1PM. The focus of this seminar is to discuss the expanding inventory of applications and storage residing in today ’s cloud environments.

“The idea of doing things through the internet rather than inside your own computer is snowballing,” said Ray Carlson, President of the Prescott Computer Society. “This trend has reached the point where Google has worked with five manufacturers to create

Chromebooks, that is, laptops that rely on the internet rather than internal software and drives.”

Some of the cloud resources available to consumers are: Google Apps and Docs, Office

365, online tax software, file sharing between computers and on-line storage using several sites. These are only a few of the applications that can be used within the cloud.

“During this session, we will demonstrate these online services, the Chromebook and then use the group's collective experiences to discuss the pluses and minuses of such internetbased computing,” said Carlson.

The Prescott Computer Society has been in Prescott, AZ. since the late 1980’s. P.C.S. holds regular meetings on Saturdays, from 1 PM until 3PM, in the Prescott Public Library.
