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. :-)
