1) General Interest

Monthly Meeting at the Largo Cultural Center is THIS WEEK

REMEMBER: Our meeting in December is one week early.  It's THIS Tuesday night!  Come on out and join us for our last meeting this year.  We'll have lots of fun at this one.

-----

Laptops for $50!

I try not to advertise items in the weekly Bulletin, but this one is a special opportunity.  June Hollister used a bunch of laptops for classes that she was teaching several years ago.  These are Windows 98 machines with varying speeds and RAM memory.  They all work, and most have network cards (however, I would be surprised if any of the batteries for them are any good).

June is selling them "as is" for $50 each.  First come, first served.  Send an email to to the Club Secretary if you are interested, and we'll put you in touch with June.

-----

Looking for Christmas/seasonal messages

Jim Boynton asked the audience at the last monthly meeting to send us examples of your favorite digital messages so that we can show them off at the December meeting this week.  Here's a very cool example:

To participate, send your links/emails to the Club Secretary.
