Geeks on Tour practically hosted our whole meeting today as we watched tutorials from both Picasa and Basic Essentials. After each tutorial, we paused to answer questions or review what we had just learned.
Our new microphone system works great! Our speaker no longer has to use a loud "outdoor" voice to be heard across the room as a result of your paid dues. As a matter of fact, we've already had two other people purchase the same equipment for their own use.
We've had several volunteers (Montez Beard, Sandra Milner, and Marlene Thurlow) who said they will share some of their photos at our March 9 meeting! Yahoo!! If you have some photos or a computer story that you can share, please do so. We'd love to hear what our members are learning from our club meetings. Keep your presentation to five minutes....or at least less than 10. Bring your presentation on a jump drive or CD. Come on March 9 ready for our "Show and Tell" hour.
Next week (February 23) we're going to learn more about Google Earth. We'll review "Street View", learn how to map a trip, learn about geocaching, and visit some far away places on the spinning globe. Our second hour will again be back to basics bootcamp. We hope to have something new for all skill levels.
Door prizes: Marlene Thurlow won a jim dandy surge protector! An aerosol duster and microfiber cloth went to Yvonne Robertson and Ray Valentine won the notebook and keychain LCD light. Congratulations to all winners!
And....a special Thank You to Janet Forseth for treating us with delicious cookies!

I only just now read this post. How Cool! That you used our Geeks on Tour videos to aid your computer club meeting. Palm Creek computer club has a perpetual 'comp' account for the Learning Library at www.geeksontour.tv I hope you find more wonderful ways to use it. We are also doing remote seminars now via Skype.
