Welcome to the Prescott Computer Society
A typical PCS meeting scene.
The Prescott Computer Society (PCS) is a PC-based users group located in Prescott, Arizona. Our primary attention is focused on IBM-compatible computers,
associated software and smart phones. 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.
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.
PCS is a member of the Association of Personal Computer User Groups (APCUG).

Fun Stuff
A typical Q&A meeting chaired by some of our favorite PCS members. It's known as a "Stump The Geeks" session which is always enjoyed by all those who attend.
We often hold Question and Answer sessions at General meetings where our members attempt to
"Stump The Geeks" with their questions about computer and smartphone problems and other related issues.
Do the geeks ever get stumped? Of course, once in a while they do but we all appreciate the very interesting and informative discussions that
are held. I guess you'll just have to come to a meeting to see for yourself.
Meeting Info
