Tampa Bay Computer Society
Home of the FREE Computer Repair Clinic
The Tampa Bay Computer Society is a membership computer club that offers many FREE computer classes and seminars that non-members may evaluate before joining. We cater to beginners as well as tech pros.
Our claim to fame is that we repair our members' computers for FREE - but that's just one of the many reasons to join us.
We are one of the premier computer and technology training centers in Pinellas County. Our 1,300 members have their choice of attending over 50 computer and Internet classes and seminars each month.
We have classes in Microsoft Windows and Office, Adobe Photoshop, Genealogy, Digital Video, Online Investing, Website Design, Linux, Microsoft Expression Web, Microsoft Visual Basic, Digital Scrapbooking, Computer Embroidery, and Social Networking (Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc., etc.).
Our Media Center has equipment capable of digitizing many analog formats:
- VHS Tapes to DVD
- Vinyl Records to CD (clean up those scratches too!)
- Audio Cassette Tapes to CD (while getting rid of tape hiss, etc.)
- 35mm Slides to JPGs (negatives also)
- We have CD duplication equipment
While we occasionally charge $5 per classroom hour for some classes, most of our resources are shared with our members for free.
All meetings, classes, and seminars take place at our offices located at 1510 Barry Rd. in Clearwater.
