1) General Interest

Town Meeting: Wednesday, Jan 30th, 7-9pm - THIS WEEK!
Bring your questions & suggestions.  Everyone is invited.  We want to improve our club.  Your feedback is important to that discussion.

2600 Club - Friday night, February 8th, 7-9pm at the Resource Center
TBCS is proud to host a meeting of the local 2600 Club meeting.  What is a 2600 meeting?  Hmmm... that's a long story in itself.  Let's say that this is a meeting for people who want to know how computer operating systems work, what security weaknesses are out there and much more.  We're hoping to attract some computer gurus to this one.  If you are interested in the inner workings of a computer, plan on joining us for this one.

-----

Upcoming Events:

Open House & RAK: Saturday, March 15th, at the Resource Center

We're going to try an XO Computer SIG in April.
We have no idea if there are enough XO purchasers in this area to create a vialble SIG, but we're sure that if they are out there, they will need some help.  We'll let you know more as time approaches.  The XO computer is the one that was developed for the "One Laptop Per Child" effort.  You can find out more by visiting:

The next time you see one of our guardians, show your gratitude with the SIGN.  You will LOVE this.

Photo Story 3 is the FREE software that comes from Microsoft that helps you to build movies from your photos.  Jan will show you how to put YOUR photos together with narration and/or music to amaze and amuse your friends.  Not only can you get very professional looking results, but the software is really very easy to use.
