Minutes - November 7, 2008

Minutes of the November 7, 2008 meeting of theSioux Falls Seniors Computer Club:

President Norm Knox called the meeting to order in room 204. The minutes of the October business meeting were read and approved. Cheri Lehmann called attention to the sign in the computer lab that calls for SeniorNet identification cards. These signs do not reflect the fact that the ID cards are no longer being issued. Secretary Garth Peterson reported that computer #3 in the computer lab now has Windows Vista. At this time, however, the lab's LaserJet printer is not yet able to receive printing from Vista. Norm announced a revision of the form for membership registration. He and the secretary worked together on the new wording of the form. Copies of the form were on display during Sunday's open house. Norm also plans to arrange for copies of the registration form to be handed out to students in SeniorNet classes along with the course CD and manual. Norm has a manual from 2005 entitled, "Organizing Computer Files Made Easy". This is from a course not being taught at present, but it possibly may be taught again. The club welcomed new member JoAnn Wagner. In the computer classroom, Vice President Bill Goebel talked about the meeting topic, "Organizing Files and Folders", and demonstrated operations on files and folders in Windows XP. During the classroom part of the meeting, Barbara Mackintosh asked how to restore missing buttons for "My Music" and "My Pictures", etc. on the right side of the Start Menu. No member had an answer at that time.

Respectfully submitted by Garth Peterson, Secretary.
