"Um, Peter? This computer can't open a PDF... and it doesn't seem to have Word or Excel, either."

NAG can guide you through the process of securing Section 8 housing, write a grant for the local town hall building, or forge collaborations with politicians, academics, and local residents, but when it comes to wireless routers, upgrading operating systems, or increasing RAM, we need help!

*Sigh* If only there was a gallant computer-literate NAGer out there somewhere! Someone who just gets all this computer stuff and can whip us into shape in a mere afternoon (or less)! You know the type we're talking about: those guys who get together with their computer friends over a beer to geek it up about Linux or the latest wireless gadgets, and who gave up the mouse ages ago in favor of the command window. It wouldn't take much for a computer fella (or gal) to fix us up, good as new, so then maybe the tripping hazard which is our wired internet connection could be retired.

In all seriousness, the NAG office could use some help updating its computer and internet resources. The good news is that we don't expect it to take a lot of time or energy on your part. What we really need is someone out there who knows his/her way around a motherboard enough to help us figure out how to do some pretty routine things, such as:

• Convert to a wireless router and help choose and install wireless cards, as needed
• Update an old computer to a later Windows operating system
• Install more memory, etc in said old computer, as needed
• Perform routine maintenance

Let us know! Call the office at 718-384-2248 or email info -at- nag-brooklyn -dot- org
