Have you been typing along on your computer and suddenly everything disappeared? Did you go to turn on your computer and nothing happened? We have all been in a situation where our computer has crashed. If we listened to the experts, we would have had a backup that would have us up and running in no time. However, we all seem to like to live dangerously. We do not backup our data on a regular basis or we just do not backup. We always have the best intentions and think we will get around to it.
Our speaker this month is
Russ Howard from Hot Link Data.
He is always receiving calls from people desperate
because their computer has crashed and they cannot
access their information. He is going to help us with
suggestions of what to do when the computer does crash
and what to do before it crashes.
Bring your questions and let’s enjoy a great presentation.

We are a non-profit organization based in Las Vegas, Nevada that began in the 1980's. LVPCUG relies on its members to provide unique resources for the benefit of those interested in the field of computers.
The organization's goals are to promote fellowship among members, share computer knowledge and contribute computer expertise. Members use, recommend and install the latest products, and help individuals to utilize the capabilities of the technology they own.
This is a wonderful opportunity for people to learn more about computers. You can attend a meeting presented by a knowledgeable speaker; explore your interest with Special Interest Groups; get the latest copy of the newsletter that contains technical articles, reviews, and other news to read at your leisure.
Any individuals interested in computers may apply for membership. Whether you are a novice, expert, computer professional, or an average computer user who wants to maximize existing skills or acquire more, we invite you to join with us in pursuing this collaborative mission.

They meet on a regular basis to hear speakers and share information on diverse topics such as:

- ...and many more
The LVPCUG maintains an information telephone line, which outlines our General Meeting, and where questions may be left. All phone messages will be responded to by one of our board members.
A General Meeting is held monthly (except July and August) during which we have a computer expert, software developer, or speakers of interest. We encourage visitors to our General Meeting. Please check our Calendar for dates and times.
All of our meetings are free and open to the public.
