1. The Good Thing About Listservers

2. The Bad Thing About Listservers

3. The Toilet Paper Analogy

4. The Plea

5. How It Works - Unsubscribe

6. How It Works - Subscribe

7. For More Info - Phone Me

8. Problem Partially My Fault - Apologies

9. Volunteers Always Welcome

• Multiple Announcers - These listservers allow multiple announcers to send information at NO CHARGE to large numbers of people, that is hopefully of interest to you.

• One Address Book - The many announcers don't have to keep track of email addresses at all, because the Listserver automatically keeps the one master address book updated.

• Self Subscribe - The Listserver allows new people to subscribe and unsubscribe themselves whenever they like, and automatically updates the address book.

• Web Page - The Listserver automatically creates an archive web page, which

• gives "web page visibility" for the announcements
• provides a backup message  location where you can always find the message if you lose or did not receive your copy in your email.

We cannot seem to get people trained to do the subscribing and unsubscribing themselves when they change their email addresses.

With several Listservers in operation, some with a hundred or more names,

and with people continually asking us to change their email addresses in the Listserver;

we find ourselves spending all our time adding and removing peoples names for them.

In reality, this is probably always going to be an UPHILL struggle, as I estimate that probably 99% of computer users in this North Central Pennsylvania region have little knowledge  about using their computers, other than being barely able to turn them on and off, and I am guessing that they are not interested in spending the time to learn or do anything more.

Using an analogy, if the subscribe/unsubscribe functions are considered to be a tool like toilet paper, then ideally it is the user's job to use the toilet paper.  Therefore, if people keep asking us to do the subscribing and unsubscribing jobs for them  -- then we feel like we are spending a lot of our lives accomplishing nothing except doing the digital equivalent of wiping people's rear ends for them.

Please try to handle the unsubscribe (details Para. 5 below) and subscribe (details Para. 6 below) functions yourself, whenever you change your email address. 

When you change to a new email address, please try to subscribe your new address yourself.  (Unsubscribing your old address is optional, but you may temporarily get 2 copies during the period your mail provider forwards email from your old address.)

There are links in the footer of each email sent from each Listserver,

that allow anybody to unsubscribe or subscribe themselves at any time.

Just send a 'blank' email (no subject, no body necessary)

from the address you want to unsubscribe to

'Listname-UNsubscribe@yahoogroups.com'

(where 'Listname' is the name of the Listserver)

and then reply to the 'request-for-confirmation' that Yahoo will send you.

(( Note that whichever address you send this blank message from,

Yahoo will unsubscribe that address.))

If you have additional questions, email me your telephone number,

and I can call you,  or email you my cell phone number.

This problem is at least partially my fault, as when we initially subscribe new people to these Listservers, we usually don't tell them that we request them to handle the unsubscribing and subscribing in the future when they change their email address.

However, in my defense, often this conversation takes place in the middle of a dance or middle of some other meeting, where the person has neither the time nor interest at the moment to listen to all the Listserver details.

If you're sitting there thinking to yourself, "Gee, this job of subscribing and unsubscribing people sounds like a fun way to spend some time", then please contact us, as we can always use assistance.  Let me assure you, it is very glamorous, satisfying, and rewarding work.

I recently put a 3 minute video (4.6 Megabytes) on a dance web page, that shows my dance partner Rita Stine and myself doing a West Coast Swing demonstration dance last September at the Dupont Fire Hall (over near Wilkes-Barre, Pa).

The attached JPEG shows a screen capture of the movie's web page.

You should be able to play this video if you have Apple's Quicktime player

(get it here FREE for Windows)  installed on your computer.

It is saved in "web streaming" format, so if you have a high speed connection, it should (hopefully) begin playing almost immediately.

((I made this video using Apple's iMovie6 software on a Macintosh computer.  Similar software is available for Windows computers.  The video footage was obtained courtesy of Sounds Of Music Entertainment.))

While there's nothing particularly significant about us old folks doing a more or less beginner-level performance,  this could just as well be a video of YOU dancing . . .  or your model railroad in operation . . .  or showing you joyfully unpacking your new Macintosh or your new Dell computer.

I have been trying unsuccessfully to get the local dance instructors to put some of the summaries of their patterns on a similar web page for review.    Stop and think about it . . . how many times have you gotten home from a dance class, and you can't quite remember whether the "rock step" or the "pivot turn" is done on the 5-6 count or done on the 7-8 count.  So you end up practicing it wrong.

The instructors typically retort with, "but we don't want to 'give' our lessons away" by having them on the web.      If that was the case, we could all be dancing like experts from using mail order videos. My belief is that many of us can REVIEW a new pattern from a video, but 98% of us cannot LEARN a new pattern from a video.  We have to actually take the class and be "walked" through it step-by-step by the instructors about 10 or 20 times.

by Apple Representatives Matt Little and Rusty Clementoni

Attached should be 4 photos from last night's 'SeniorNet Computer Club' Presentation of the Windows-capable "Intel Macintosh".

First, we would like to says THANKS to all those persons who took the time to attend and support this Macintosh presentation -- and fill up the seating area.  ((Our biggest worry was that we would have a speaker take the time to come and do a presentation,  but only have only a small handful of attendees, such as we experienced back in 2004 when we tried to have Macintosh presenters come to Penn College.))

This photo shows -- standing on the right, with the tie and yellow shirt) -- Rusty Clementoni . . . the Apple salesperson who set up this presentation.  Standing on the left (in the dark blue shirt), is Apple engineer Matt Little, who did most of the presentation.

Matt discussed the 'Boot Camp' software, which allows the Mac to boot up-in and run Windows XP right at the hardware level just like it would if it was a real Windows box.  Matt also discussed the 'Parallels' program which allows the Mac to run a Windows-emulation program, so you can run your Windows programs simultaneously with Mac programs.  He also addressed many questions from the Mac users in attendance.

This photo again shows Matt Little, standing at right.   The gentleman sitting down immediately to Matt's left (in a dark blue shirt) is Dale Reeder, from Leading Electronics, whom we requested to attend.  Leading Electronics is our local authorized Apple dealer.  They sell and service both Macs and Windows computers.

The gentleman sitting in the very left edge of the photo (in a dark blue shirt) is Geoff Knauth, the chairman of the local Williamsport Mac Meetup group  ( mac.meetup.com/25 ), that meets here in Williamsport the 2nd Tuesday of every month.  Geoff and his group were obliging enough to relocate their meeting from their usual normal location at a local coffee house where they can lounge and sip on a beverage, to our crowded, non-beveraged library space, so they could help boost our attendance.

This photo again shows Matt Little, standing at right.   The gentleman sitting down immediately to Matt's left is Mike Dock  (in a dark blue shirt), from Northumberland.  The lady in the left edge of the picture is Bonna Cafiso from Sunbury.  We also had a gentleman from Danville, and 3 persons from the Lock Haven area.

This photo again shows Matt Little, the only photo where you get a semi-decent view of his face.

These people from these outlying towns probably learned about the program from the Central Pa Mac Users email discussion Listserver.   We also had quite a few Williamsport-area people who are not SeniorNet members.  I am speculating that they might have learned about this program from Sun-Gazette writer George Gedon's Sunday article headlined "SeniorNet to look at Windows vs. Mac".

The attendance sheet indicates that only about 7 SeniorNet members were in attendance: George and Janice Cohen, Art & Jane Kline, Fred Stiner, Rudy Wacek, and myself.  Thus this program was really not all that heavily attended by actual SeniorNet members.  But with the help of the  Mac Meetup group, Mac users from outlying towns, and the general community, we were able to provide a reasonably "respectable" audience.

The 2nd attached JPEG (following the photo) shows the survey results for the October 13 Computer Club meeting,

that featured Wayne Palmer speaking about Digital Photography.

We had approximately 20 person attending (plus 3 council members).

We had 16 of the 20 survey forms completed and returned to us.

We THANK those 16 persons who took the time to complete the survey form and return it.

Why ?

We announce these computer club meetings in up to about 8 different media.

However, those announcements don't just magically appear in the media.

A volunteer (Margie Shaw with the newsletter, and George Gedon with the newspapers and TV) has to take the time to a) create the announcement, b) get it into the format required by the particular media, and c) make sure it gets to them.

Therefore it is helpful for us to see your answers to the  "How did you learn about this meeting?" section,  to find out if the time spent creating and placing these announcements in the media, results in many of you actually seeing them.

We also try to find out if there are topics, that people want to see for FUTURE presentations.  Another volunteer (currently Art Kline) studies the

"I'd like to see presentations on <whatever>" section,

to see if he can identify any topics, that the majority of people seem to be interested in.

If you were one of the people attending, you should be able to find your initials.  Your name shows in the format of "last initial-first initial".  For example, if a person named Samantha Bastian had attended, in our records she would be Bastian-Samantha, and she would show up in the second column as "BS".

hosted by Dave Lott and George Casper.

((Dave Lott is the one kneeling in front,working with the overhead project screen;

and George Casper is out of the photo on the left.)

Dave brought the partially disassembled computer you see on the floor

and the other components stacked on top of it

(cable modems, routers, hard drives, etc) ,

and used them during the first part of the program,

to explain to us how they all fit together and worked together.

If you weren't there, you missed a great presentation

that explained many of the "mysteries" of computing.

We passed a survey form out at the 8/3 meeting, that asked participants

to indicate any of the above topics they would be interested in.

IF you have interest in ATTENDING a future Wednesday Computer Club meeting

and you did NOT already fill out the SURVEY form at the 8/3 meeting,

you have the opportunity to do so now by email.

Just hit your REPLY button and

email your choice(s) from the above topic list back to me,

and we'll add your choice of topic to the list.

( If your email reply  function doesn't work, you can use the 24 hour Voice Mail at the bottom.)

• The time available, may not permit discussion of all the questions.

When I get pictures  sent to me in my e-mail, I can't open them to  see them. I can download them and save them to a  download folder but I can't open them. I don't  know how to use winzip, trial time is over, just  at a loss as to how to open them. I used to be  able to open my pictures from my e-mail right  away, not anymore. I never used to need winzip  before for anything. Is this a program I should  delete? Thanks, hope you can condense what I  have said or understood what I am trying to  explain.

Pages B-1 & B-3 of the Tuesday April 5 Sun-Gazette.

April 10-16 is National Library Week and the James V. Brown Library wants people to kick up their heels as they kickoff a weeklong celebration of libraries, literacy and learning.

"Last year's open house was so successful we wanted to do it again bigger and better," says Art Kline, Chair of the library's SeniorNet Coordinating Council.  "The biggest difference this year is that the library will be open.  Last year's Sunday was a special event but with the return of Sunday hours we hope to attract attendees of all ages."  SeniorNet joins the library in sponsoring these programs.
