AITP Pgh Sept Mtg – Making Macs, PCs and Linux Devices Work

Making Macs, PCs and Linux Devices Work

By Dave Sevick
Continuing our discussion from May 2016 on Mac vs. PC vs. Linux … We’ll conduct a hands on lab explaining how to install software on all of these devices! Bring your old laptops and mobile devices (not production computers) and we’ll show you how Computer Reach refurbishes computers and mobile devices to serve people locally and globally. Macs will be loaded with the Mac OS. PCs will be loaded with Ubuntu Linux. Both include software suites. You can then donate your old laptop to Dave’s 501(c)(3) organization or take it home for your use.

Dave Sevick, Computer Reach Founder, Apple Consultant
works as an Apple computer consultant, now in his 26th year serving Western PA, WV, OH, MD. In addition to serving Apple clients in homes, schools and business, Dave formed the North Pittsburgh Macintosh Users Group in 1996. That organization spawned the Mac Missionaries volunteer-based recycling effort, later expanding operations in 2010 to create Computer Reach, a 501c3 designated public charity. In 2012 Dave expanded Computer Reach beyond Apple refurbishing to include PCs running Linux and mobile devices.
