The TBCS Board of
Directors recently decided to purchase some new wireless mikes and a new
projector. The display on our current projector has been
deteriorating for some time now and, while we've tried to make do with the
wireless mikes that we own, they've let us down too many times.
We didn't expect the new equipment to arrive in time for
this month's General Meeting, but they all rolled in time to debut them
last Tuesday night. Wow! Were we pleased! I am happy to
report that the sound from our new microphones was static-free and crystal clear.
The projector image was also static-free and crystal clear.
Improvements
in the technology have made it possible for the newer breed of projectors
to produce a clearer, sharper image. The new projector also has more
features than the old one, and it does all of this at a greatly reduced
price.
Thanks to all of the fine folks who contributed their
efforts to ensure that our presenters can be seen and heard. While
several people facilitated in a variety of ways, Dale Atchison purchased
the microphones and Stan Ashbrook did most of the research for the
projector.

Our guest speaker this month was Ron Dupont Jr. He
set up his IPIX camera and took a photo of the whole group. You may
download it and see yourselves. The file that you will download is a
self-contained executable file. I want to assure you that it's safe
and virus-free. It's very easy to download and view so give it a
try.
Please go to

download link.
