Want to download videos from You Tube and save them on your computer? Want to download lots of new music from You Tube? Mike Salter demonstrated the "You Tube Downloader" and showed us how to access the information.
Web Browsers: What is Chrome vs Internet Explorer vs Firefox? What is Google vs Bing vs Ask? These questions were answered as well.
Mike also demonstrated how to dress up our Christmas letters by adding borders, clip art, photos, etc. How to change the font and add color. Start your Christmas letter in Microsoft Word and he will address more questions at our next meeting as time allows.
Next week's speaker is Kevin Fahey from the Public Library. Kevin will tell us about all the resources available for doing research. Genealogy buffs may be interested in his information as well. Invite a friend. He will also talk about all the free classes held at the library. Should be a very informative meeting.
Here is some info I copied from a recent message from Kevin:
The library will be having a facebook class on Saturday, Dec. 10 from
9:30-11:30am. You can access the Technology classes and all other library programs through the City of Casa Grande brochure at http://www.casagrandeaz.gov/web/guest/parksrec.

There is also a weekly e-newsletter that lists the technology classes that
will be offered at the library for the following week. You can subscribe to it by going to http://www.casagrandeaz.gov/web/guest/subscribe ,
filling in your email information, and clicking on Library Newsletter.
Future plans include a speaker from Best Buy. Do you have any topics you would like to add to their presentation? Any demonstrations of products you would like to see? Send your requests to Mike in an email: msalter@cyg.net
Remember to check Mike's website for a full copy of his presentation on computer maintenance. Go to www.homeiswhereweparkit.net and click on "Computer Club" to see his list of topics.
Let's hear from you! What other topics would you like to address at our club meetings?
