'''Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) maintains an Apple iMac computer,''' three Windows Design Workstations, as well as other computers (dedicated to equipment) throughout&nbsp;our&nbsp;space.

Members can use our computers, and installed software, without&nbsp;any additional required&nbsp;training (Level 1).

No reservations are required for our iMac or Design Workstations at this time, using the computers is "first-come, first&#8209;served".

Members are also welcome to bring in their own computers and use our high-speed Internet connection.
