Meeting Agenda For January 2010

January 4 - Computing 101

Jay Cunnington will get our new year started by completing his lessons on "Inside the PC." He plans to explain what you need to know about Memory, Power Supplies & Video cards. With all the changes that have occurred on Motherboards recently, not to mention operating systems, this should bring us up to date on what we need vs. what we can use.

Hardware Lab

If all goes well, we'll have a Hardware Lab to complete the evening. If you are experiencing any hardware problems, this is the time you can bring in your computer (no need to bring the monitor) in an effort to get the problem solved.

We'll need to know if you are planning to bring yours in and it's very helpful to know ahead of time what problem you are experiencing. If you'll cooperate in this way, it is more likely you can be helped.

You can find the contact information in our monthly newsletter.

January 12 - What's New with Ink Products?

We'll be welcoming Don Baker from Klassic Specialties to this meeting. You see his ad every month in our newsletter and most of our members have learned a lot about printing from his past visits. Don has prepared a new presentation to explain the latest changes that will affect our printing.

If you have an ink jet or laser printer, check the supplies you have available at home. If you do not have replacement cartridges on hand, this is a great chance to get them at Don's discounted prices plus save on shipping. Check www.klassicspecialties.com to order and he'll bring them to the meeting for you. His website is very easy to use - just go to your printer model and manufacturer and indicate how many you want of the types available. If you have any questions, be sure to call him at 800-786-9272.

January 19 - Pot Luck and Annual Meeting and Voting

This is the winter Pot Luck which I know you have been anticipating. Same rules as before: you may bring anything you wish which will serve at least eight to ten. If you are unable to bring a dish, please plan to donate $10 to the committee so we can fill in the table as needed.

After our scrumptious meal is devoured, the candidates will be introduced. Members that have their dues current are eligible to vote.

The Treasurer will present our 2009 Financial Report and we'll recognize those who work to keep our club functioning.

January 26 - More 3-D TV and CES Report

When Walt Ordway was here in November, he suggested he could bring a TV on which he could show us 3-D for his next visit and everyone was eager to see it. This is the night when we will have that opportunity.

We'll also hear about the new advances he will have seen at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) a couple weeks prior to this meeting. We know there will many 3-D presentations to attend during this big show in Las Vegas so it will be great fun to hear all about them. Walt always has so much information to share which helps us to make better decisions when the time comes for us to think about purchasing a new TV.

Do come help welcome him back!
