Remember our meeting
this Tuesday, 6:45 PM at the
Largo Cultural Center!
------
Guest Speakers:
Dave Gussow & John
Torro
from the St. Petersburg Times
|
You're gong to feel really stupid if you go to
Clearwater Central Catholic High School on Tuesday night! - the rest
of us will be at the Largo Cultural Center.
We will, however, have a photographer waiting to take your picture at the
high school.
Seriously,
don't miss out on a great meeting at our new venue because you forgot that
we've moved.
We'll be hosting 2 of our favorite speakers that night:
Dave Gussow & John Torro from the Tech Times magazine
that appears every Monday in the St. Pete Times. Dave
has recently returned from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas, and he should be up on all the latest gadgets & software.
John writes the very popular "Solutions" column that explains
how to fix all of those annoying computer problems that we experience.
Lots of meeting changes are taking place. We're
trying to end the meetings at 8:45 these days, the Cultural Center
will be selling lattes that night (should be good to warm us up),
and we'll be sending several lucky people home with prizes - including a
copy of Windows XP Professional.
Our meetings are always open to the general public so
please feel free to bring a friend or two with you and join in the
festivities.

I think that our club does an excellent job of using our
website to communicate with our members. Other computer clubs may
have had websites before we did, but I don't see any that, in my opinion,
use it nearly as well as we do. Check it out and see if you agree.
