Computers in Kansas City

[Evelynrpt@AOL.COM]

Anyone who's on the pianotech list knows that a computer can be one of the
most important tools that a technician owns. And anyone who's attended an
Annual Institute in the past few years knows that there have been incredible
opportunities to learn about computers as well as pianos.  This year will be
no exception--computer expert Andy Rudoff will again teach his popular class,
"The Internet for Piano Technicians."  He'll also be bringing us a new class
about business applications for the computer.

And on Sunday morning there will be an exciting event for computer fans--the
Cybercafe.  In an informal atmosphere, you can get hands-on instruction on a
wide variety of topics. Just choose your subject and sit down at a table with
a computer and an instructor--there will be stations for word processing,
financial software, customer record-keeping, and desk top publishing.  Tuning
software and scaling software will be demonstrated, as well as the new Palm
III. Surf the Web for the first time, or learn the fine points of email
etiquette.  We'll even have a demonstration of the new computerized index of
the Piano Technicians Journal from 1946 to the present.  Instructors will
include Dean Reyburn, Mitch Kiel, John Baird, Andy Rudoff, Nancy and David
Lamoreaux, Frank Emerson, Ron Torrella, Bill Springer, and Alan Zajicek.

All of this is available at no extra cost to technicians registered for the
conference.  Take advantage of the opportunities waiting for you in Kansas
City this July.
