New Meeting Agenda



Due to a scheduling conflict, Tom Kirk from Creative Labs is unable to
make his presentation. It will be rescheduled to the February or March
2008 meeting.



We had many positive comments regarding the Google presentation done by
our Webmaster, Doug Beck, at the October meeting. Because he was unable
to complete his presentation at that meeting due to time constraints and
several attendees from the October meeting indicated Doug may have moved
too quickly through the list of Google features, Doug has agreed to
continue the presentation concentrating on questions and answers but
also going through some of the best features a second time.

To all,

The attached (PDF format) Windows Secrets article on "Carry a flash drive
instead of a laptop" ( http://www.windowssecrets.com/ ) came out this
morning! It is a multi-part article (to be continued) on the same topic
that I presented at last night's NJCC meeting. Our/their timing on this
confirms that we/they seem to be on the same wavelength with current
computer topics of interest.

I would strongly recommend that you all subscribe to their free newsletter
if you do not currently do so. It is probably the best computer newsletter
available regularly by email.

Very best,

Fred

PS to Rich Byrne: Please send this article to our NJCC membership via NJCCMAIL.

NOTE: THE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1OTH, NJCC MEETING WILL FEATURE TWO SEPARATE
PRESENTATIONS STARTING AT 7:30 PM!!!

APCUG Discount at Tiger Direct

As a benefit of its membership in APCUG, your group is receiving this discount
offer. APCUG does not endorse any company offering discounts, but makes these
offers available as a service to its members. Please forward the discount
information on to your members as a benefit of belonging to your group.

Tiger Direct, through its parent company Global Computer, is offering all APCUG
member user groups discount pricing on all products they carry (and that is a
lot). This program will provide similar discounts that vendors normally provide
their corporate accounts. All products includes everything on their web site, in
their catalogs, and special orders. Most items will have a varied % off but all
items will be lower than advertised. In other words software, hardware,
peripherals, printers, servers, all may have a slightly different discount rate
as do brands such as HP, EPSON, LENOVO, IBM, etc. This discount includes all
major brands, including their own Global and Tiger Direct Systemax custom
computers as well as printer ink and toners, peripherals of all kinds, and
media.

The web site is:  http://www.globalcomputer.com

To get the UG discount, your members should call Clay Bennett, Senior Manager,
Global Computer, and identify themselves as belonging to your user group which
is a member of APCUG. Please have the item number and description to give Clay,
as well as quantity and a credit card for payment.

Clay may be reached at 866 310 1947.

Judy Taylour, Chair

To all,

At last night's meeting I recommended that you might find the FREE "Windows
Secrets Newsletter" at http://windowssecrets.com to be of interest.

The attached article on "WiFi Safe Surfing" was in today's mailing. This is
a great example of how the NJCC and Windows Secrets both address current
issues of interest to our membership.

With best regards,

Fred Sabin
NJCC President

for the best anti-spyware software available.

I and many other NJCC members have used "Spy Sweeper" for many months, and
I recommed it fully!

"Spy Sweeper" is sold by Webroot with a one year "subscription" for $38.90
(with CD and shipping), or $29.95 (with program downloading). The
"subscription" includes all program updates, all definition updates, and
technical support (for one year).

We are offering the "Spy Sweeper" CD with a one year subscription to NJCC
members on a first come first served basis for only $15 (while supplies
last)! If you want to purchase a copy email me at: president@... OR
fsabin@...

NJCC meeting.

Very best regards,

Fred (Sabin)
President, NJCC

Rich,


Be sure to emphasize the following:


1) For the Holiday Party, members are requested to bring in their favorite
holiday food, snack or drink to share with all on this special occasion. Please
remember that the North Branch Reformed Church is a "NUT FREE FACILITY!" NO
foods containing nut products of any type are allowed in the facility.


2) Software and hardware must be Windows XP compatible since Windows 98, 98SE
and Me are no longer supported. Only small hardware items (as notebooks, small
USB devices, etc.) sell. Do NOT bring printers, monitors, large towers, etc.

ANYTHING YOU BRING THAT IS NOT SOLD MUST GO HOME WITH YOU! NOTHING IS PUT IN THE
NBRC GARBAGE!


Thank you,

Fred

create and use macros in Excel and Word to automate some of your routine
complicated repetitive tasks.

To download some of Paul's handouts and other presentation materials, go to:
