Welcome to the Golden Gate Computer Society
The Golden Gate Computer Society, a non-profit organization, is one of the foremost PC user groups in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In a nutshell, we are "users helping users".
We offer monthly General Meetings (open to the public without charge), numerous smaller Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and occasional classes held in our classroom in San Anselmo, a monthly newsletter, discounts at various providers of hardware, software and computer services, and a program to refurbish used computers for schools.
We began in 1981, shortly after the first IBM personal computer came to market. Our members include expert and novice computer users alike. We are retirees, CPAs, engineers, doctors, hobbyists, housewives, secretaries, computer professionals, students, lawyers and business-persons of all ages.
Some of us depend on computer knowledge for our livelihood; others are beginners with their first computers. The common bond among the Society's membership is an interest in computers and their technology, and a willingness to share that interest, knowledge and experience.
The Society’s aim is to provide answers to members’ questions, and to help all learn more about this incredibly vast and fascinating field. We strive to educate, encourage and advance members' computer competence and enjoyment, as well as to provide a friendly forum for the exchange of ideas and problem solving.

Start off using your site by logging in using the administrator account you created when you installed Joomla!.
Upgraders
If you are an experienced Joomla! 1.5 user, this Joomla! site will seem very familiar. There are new templates and improved user interfaces, but most functionality is the same. The biggest changes are improved access control (ACL) and nested categories. This release of Joomla! has strong continuity with Joomla! 1.6 while adding enhancements.
Professionals
Joomla! 1.7Â continues development of the Joomla Framework and CMS as a powerful and flexible way to bring your vision of the web to reality. With the administrator now fully MVC, the ability to control its look and the management of extensions is now complete.
