Feb 22nd: Buying and selling on eBay Comprehensive guide on how to buy and sell items on eBay, and practical guidance on what to look out for when using eBay.

Mar 1st: Home Networking and Internet Telephony Choosing and setting up a home network, using either wireless or cabling.
Introduction to Voice over IP technology for making internet telephone and video calls (e.g. Skype).

Mar 8th: The PC and Music These days your PC is as much a media centre as a computing device. Your PC can be a CD library with a number of possible applications. These include synchronising with an iPod or similar mp3 player, interfacing to your hi fi for access to your CD library or for multi-room music systems, and just simply using media software and your PC to organise and play CD’s, and to create playlists. The exact content would depend on your specific interests, but the session could range from how to create and organise a CD library on your computer, to a higher level discussion on integrating your PC into a home music system.

March 15th: Upgrading or buying a new PC Key things to look for when buying a new desktop or laptop. Guidance on upgrading your PC, adding new devices e.g scanner, external hard drive or DVD writer.

The Cockfield Computer Circle (CCC) sets out to help participants improve their computing knowledge and hence get more from using their PC. It is achieved through a combination of teaching and sharing of experience amongst participants in a relaxed environment. Some topics are aimed at beginners seeking to learn new skills and gain more confidence in using a computer, other topics are aimed at the more experienced user seeking to push their knowledge a little further.
