Special Topic Presentation: How to Format Your Computer for Chinese Use

Chinese Culture Center and Chinatown Photographic Society are most happy to announce another joint program for the Chinatown community slated for Saturday, August 11, 2007 between 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Chinese Culture Center located at 750 Kearny Street, 3rd floor, San Francisco, Ca 94108. The event is open to the public and admission is free of charge. The guest speaker is computer expert-instructor, and Certified Microsoft Engineer, Mr. Joseph Lee. He hosts his most popular: “Computer World” talk show on KEST 1450 AM radio weekly on Fridays at 12:30 p.m. with audiences in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and Seattle.

His topic on how to format your computer for Chinese use is most timely as we no longer consider the use of a computer as a luxury. Computer is becoming a tool in our daily life in communication and at work. Many of us are versatile in the use of the computer, and yet, not many of us are as good in using the computer in Chinese. If you are interested in enhancing your skill and learn to use Chinese to input your computer for surfing the Internet, reading and writing your e-mail, following the Chinese newspapers locally and around the world and improving your photos digitally, this is the lecture for you. Mr. Lee is also going to talk about the advantages of the new Microsoft VISTA operating system. Do not miss this wonderful opportunity to learn about this topic of interest. Please bring a friend who may also enjoy this talk. For more information please contact Ben Lee 415-515-2744 or Johnny Lee 415-244-6572.
