Random Acts of Kindness at the Palm
Harbor Library on Feb. 15th
 Historically,
Random Acts of Kindness week has been celebrated during the same
week as Valentine's Day (makes it easier to remember). We're going
to celebrate it for the first time in 2007 the day after Valentine's Day.
Our RAK computer repair crew will be at the Palm Harbor Library on
Thursday, February 15th fixing computers for the public at one of
our FREE clinics.
You do not need to be
a TBCS member to take advantage of this service. We invite the general
public to join us in our unique way of celebrating the concept of
performing random acts of kindness. So please let your friends and
neighbors know that they are welcome. They MUST, however,
pre-register for this event. Please go to:

and click on the "Register" link at the top of the page

The Digital Video SIG is coming!
THIS WEEK
Wednesday,
January 24th, 10-noon
We finally have a SIG leader for a Digital Video SIG.
His name is Tom Lembke, and he's a glutton for punishment because
he's going to lead the SIG twice a month: the second and the fourth
Wednesday of each month.
Digital Video is something of a misnomer because Tom
plans on dealing with digital audio also. Many of our members want
to digitize their record albums, cassette tapes, and VHS tapes and burn
them to CDs or DVDs. This is the SIG that many of you have been looking for.

- THIS WEEK!
Friday,
Jan. 26th 7-9pm
This will be a free seminar introducing an Internet Online Business on any
imaginable topic, with no product, (and here's the good part) no financial
investment, with no technical skills. The seminar will touch on all the
topics to be covered in her next class. Registration is not required
for this seminar.

Photo Story 3
(Hands-On) by Jan McNulty
4
hours (2
two-hour sessions) 10am - noon $20
2 Mondays: 2/5 & 2/12 - You MUST register for this class.
Photo
Story 3 is the FREE software that comes from Microsoft that helps you to
build movies from your photos. We had a Photo Story 3 contest
several months ago. Many of you asked afterwards if we would have
classes again. Photo Story software helps you to build photo albums
with transitions, movement, narration, and music. Not only can you
get very professional looking results, but the software is really very
easy to use.
