Hello and Welcome, The time has come for some change within the club's website. John Lucke has been putting together a trial site and the Committee would appreciate all members taking some time to view the website with whatever browser they use and sending their assessment to elaine.spcug@gmail.com. There will also be a 10 minute review at the next Main Meeting, Tuesday 24 February 2008. Remember that your Committee values your opinions. In an effort to streamline the management of SIG meetings, your Committee also asks those of you who attend the many SIG meetings to take a look at the cabinet that houses the many components that run the computer.  If you could put forward any ideas on the how the tangle (?number?) of cords can be reduced and also to alleviate the need for SIG leaders to get on the floor to plug in additional hardware items. Any ideas/plans can be forwarded to elaine.spcug@gmail.com or give to your SIG leader to pass on to a Committee member. The Membership committee will be hosting another stall on Sunday 1 March at the Roundhouse, University of NSW in an effort to boost the club's membership. It is hoped that those of you who can make yourselves available will come along and help in promoting the benefits of the SPCUG. Parking is available please see map.

Left click on Properties. Go to hardware tab and select the piece of hardware in your USB port. Click on Properties then click on the Policies tab. Choose the second option (Optimise for performance). Click on the words “Safely Remove Hardware”. This should bring up the dialogue box and place the desired icon in the system tray. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Please remember if your e-mail address is changed for any reason at all, unless you tell me your new address then you will not receive these weekly updates!
