WELCOME TO THE HOME PAGE OF
THE PRESCOTT COMPUTER SOCIETY
The Prescott Computer Society (PCS) is a PC-based users group
located in Prescott, Arizona. We hold several meetings
each month to show you how to get the most out of your
computer.
These consist of our
General meeting as well as
several Special Interest Group meetings.
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. We strive to provide personal, home
office and small business computing solutions and presentation
topics. You may obtain both basic and advanced information
about computers by attending our club’s meetings.

FUN (AND INTERESTING) STUFF
 Scene
from a typical Question and Answer session in which our members
attempt to "Stump The Geeks." Did they succeed? I
guess you'll just have to come to a meeting to find out.
Actually, the questions are submitted in advance so we can come
up with useful answers to our member's concerns. But that
doesn't mean there won't be any surprises during the meeting!
