ASCCA Computer Training
The Australian Seniors Computing Clubs Association is running a series of training sessions at 280 Pitt Street Sydney during September. Details are available here.
The Sydney PC
User Group is a member of ASCCA.
Hello and Welcome,
Alex Zaharov-Reutt has arranged for Ninemsn to
make the presentation at the Main Meeting on Tuesday and Peter Collard
will lead the popular Digital Photography SIG on Friday.
Details follow:
Tuesday 23 August - MAIN
Meeting - 5:30pm - 8:30pm
This month we have Ninemsn back to tell us about
the brand new version of Windows Live Messenger, still the world's most
popular instant messaging program.
Presenting will be Mikaela Lancaster, head of
Windows Live Australian, and the Australian Windows Live Messenger product
manager, Adam Ireland.
Adam's summary states that: "Windows Live
Messenger (formerly known as MSN Messenger) is Australia’s #1 IM chat
service. The latest product offering, Messenger 2011, allows users to
connect via HD video chat and unique social integration. This presentation
is designed to demonstrate how you can connect with the people that matter
to you most via Windows Live Messenger."
Sounds like Microsoft wants to make sure its own
Windows Live Messenger service stays capable despite the pending
Microsoft/Skype acquisition!
So... see you at the August Main Meeting for the
usual Questions & Answers, stellar site selections, prizes and
more!
Alex
Friday 26 August - Digital
Photography - P. Collard - 9:30am -
12:30pm
Peter will start the meeting with a question and
answer session and review the photographs of brick walls taken for this
month's photo exercise.
The main topic follows on from last month's
discussion of "what do you do with your photos?"
Peter will take a brief look at archival storage
and then discuss "photo books".
The various options available and the software used to prepare a photo book will be considered.
