A bit about computer clubs in Kentucky

The BGAMUG computer club (BGAMUG - the Bowling Green Micocomputer User's Group) is a group based in Bowling Green, Kentucky. You can learn more about your computer, and network with other users there. You can also participate in social events, and more.
This blog has more information about it.

There are some other Computer User's Groups here in Kentucky. Here are a few:


The Central Kentucky Computer Society - Lexington, Kentucky
The Kentucky-Indiana PC Users Group in Louisville - KIPCUG
 This group is Kentucky's largest computer users group.

Here are links to other computer user groups in the U.S. and elsewhere. It is a page written by the Space Coast PC User's Group, Inc. http://www.scpcug.com/uglink.html

Some photos from our meeting yesterday 5-25-10

Here are some photos from yesterday's BGAMUG meeting on Tuesday night, 5-25-10.

We had a discussion about questions about computers, then President Jerry Gillette had a presentation for the club about how to use a scanner.

We learned about all-in-one printers that can include scanners, how to use setting buttons to customize our scans, and what makes for a good looking black and white and color scan. We also learned something about resolution and improving the looks of old photographs.

Nobody won the Door Dollars drawing, so maybe someone will win it next time. Also, we have a new VP of Protocol, Jeri Steele.  Congratulations, Jeri! I hope I have your name spelled right. Just let me know if not. :-)
