PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

By the enthusiasm shown at our meetings it looks as though the Board has selected some great presentations on our own.  As stated we will do Windows 7 at the main meetings and Word 2007 at the Saturday SIG – using the Professor Teaches series.  Both of the first meetings came off quite well – VP Ray will report in this issue the Wednesday Meeting.           

As for the Saturday Sig I am amazed at the amount of questions a presentation such as this brings.  It was absolutely great – and I believe the 14/15 individuals that were there really learned a lot.  And isn’t that what these meetings are about.  I have firmly believed that SEWWUG is a teaching organization and by what I have observed in these first two months of 2010 we are living up to our name.

Windows 7 is continuing [on my system] to work well.  I have had several glitches but I contribute those to hardware problems – not software.  Within the next week I will be moving from W7 – 32 bit to W7 – 64 bit as this is the way the industry is moving.  Most laptops are now at retail with the 64 bit versions.  What I have tested so far on my 64 is working quite well.

Please put our schedule on your schedule and being making some of these presentations.  The club is showing the latest in technology and that is what we all should learn.

HAPPY COMPUTING  

SEWWUG Meeting Minutes

February 3, 2010

 It's amazing how fast the world turns! I mean we just learned Windows VISTA and now we are learning Windows 7. Thanks to Brent Wenzel who managed the meeting by using Professor Teaches Microsoft Windows 7 Software Program. He ran through the first chapter which consisted of the following subjects:

What is Windows 7?

Starting Windows 7

Introduction To The Desktop

Working With Explorer Windows

Working With Program Windows

Resizing And Moving Windows

Working With Dialog Boxes

Getting Help

Shutting Down Your Computer

Following these introductory lessons we had questions and answers which again, were handled by Joe, Brent and others.

There were 30 members present at this meeting and we had three door prizes given out to the lucky winners. (Two $10 Speedway Gift Cards and a Utility Flashlight donated by George Moe). I would like to express my personal "thanks" to George for donating a door prize. He does this for every meeting he attends.  I would appreciate other members to consider donating door prizes so that we can continue our efforts to make our meetings informative, educational and fun!

Next month we will continue with Windows 7 and Chapter Two will take us thru "Using The Desktop".

Respectfully submitted,

Ray Jamroze, VP
