Making Progress - Thursday, January 13, 2011

There were 35 of us in the meeting today.

Today we had two more very informative presentations:

One by Sue Hepler from the Palm Creek Computer Club who spoke to us about the Palm Creek Golf and RV Resort Blogs, specifically the Mac Users Group, and another presentation by Irene and David Hall who demonstrated how to create movies in iMovie.

Even though we had technical breakdowns with Internet connection failing us during Sue's presentation and the speakers not working in Dave and Irene's presentation (what a bummer after all the work they put into making the movie for us), thanks to the creativity and collective knowledge of the group we learned a lot about bookmarks, using Command - or + to enlarge or shrink the image along the way, plus other tips. We're fortunate to have Bill Edwards, Jack McCleskey, Suzie Nunley and Silvia Oswald in the group to guide us through the various options when we're in trouble (at least those were the ones that I heard helping me when I was trying to support Sue).

At the upcoming meeting, January 20th, Tom Gottfried will demonstrate how to create a blog, and Jack McCleskey will takes us through another journey into Systems Preferences.

Tom Gottfried, Bonnie Hensel, Dave Odgers and Carol Stuart will be representing us at the upcoming Palm Creek Welcome Home Party on Sunday, January 16th. Please stop by and join them in spreading the word about our exciting MAC Users Group if you're so inclined. Thank you Tom, Bonnie, Dave and Carol for your support.

As we left the meeting I expressed hope that several of you would add comments about your experience of the meeting on this blog. We look forward to your "posts".
