Have a book, disk, or computer something to share?

We are starting to bring things from home to share with other BGAMUG club members. If you have something you are willing to share with another member, bring it to the meeting next time.

You can also bring a card to go with it so the person borrowing it can jot down their name and info.

This is a good way to still have a library in the club, and not burden somebody with lugging it in and out every meeting.

Questions? Just ask about this at the meeting. Our next meeting is on April 27th, which is the fourth Tuesday of next month. Come one, come all! Guests are very welcome.

The BGAMUG next meeting will feature Wheel of Fortune and a presentation on Facebook.

A reminder: tomorrow at 6:30 is the next meeting for BGAMUG (The Bowling Green Microcomputer User's Group).

We will have a short presentation on Facebook.
 I thought the Wheel of Fortune Game was today too, but it won't be until April 27th, our next meeting.

So come one come all. Visitors are most welcome and we won't charge anything either.

Announcing our next BGAMUG meeting: March 23 2010

Yay! The photos have arrived!

I have just gotten photos as attachments online from BGAMUG club members of the Cruise! These photos will be so fun to see.

I have a couple downloaded and I will put a photo of the ship here. The rest will be uploaded to the Members Only site and the BGAMUG site ASAP next week. And maybe here too!

I can't wait to hear more about the cruise at the meeting and at the Board Meeting too.

What a neat cruise ship! It is beautiful.

The APCUG site and some neat things it offers for our group!

I found the APCUG site today and definitely think it could be useful for BGAMUG. I bet some of the members are already using it for ideas and articles.

Here is the site and a short description of what I found today. I am sure there are other neat resources here, too:

APCUG - http://www.apcug.net/ We belong to this group. It is the Association of Personal Computer Groups. They are mostly talking about the Phoenix Regional meeting they had in February. They feature their latest  Jerry Awards here. Plus they have help for their Member User Groups here, like articles, computer tips, articles about communications, and a link to a site called Dave's Bytes, which is not being updated right now. Maybe he is too busy with his radio show, which scrolls around the top of the page.

(from the site) Here are the articles they offer about Communication:
