Cold Weather Meeting

It was a very cold day outside but we stayed warm at the Club Meeting.  We had the usual goodies of juice and coffee and donuts.

Mark gave a demonstration on how to upgrade from one version to another on Linux Ubuntu.  We also  had the pleasure of the return of Glenn and Todd (our Linux guys) and Gary had them check out his system.  Kris gave a demonstration on some speakers and said there are four resale shops on Fifth Avenue that has a lot of good bargains.


Jane explained how to download books from the library.  With downloading books from the Library you don't have to worry about late charges.  They just remove the download when the book is due. And if you  belong to a library you can check out the books from home. Mary showed how to download a book to her Kindle. Todd explained the difference between Android Tablets and the Kindle and showed his tablet.  Gary showed the difference in a couple of speaker systems for the Laptop.

Christmas Party

Today was cold outside but we were toasty warm at the Kankakee River Valley Computer Users Group Christmas Party.  We had plenty of tasty treats.  Mary and Ray brought some really good wrapped  wieners.  Fran brought some yummy Sweet Potatoes.  Diana brought in some great Brownies and Peanut Brittle and a shrimp ring.  And the club supplied  a meat and cheese tray and soda and coffee.

Mark had a new set up for us that was more centrally located and showed how you can hook your computer to your TV and use the TV as the Monitor. Kelly had some printers he wanted to test against getting the paper wet and if the ink survived.

Santa made an appearance and gave all the members Christmas Presents of 8 gig Flash Drives.
