A Mac or PC computer?
Why would someone go back to a PC computer after having abandoning it for a Mac?
Hello and Welcome,
A copy of a new Constitution for the Sydney PC
Users Group was e-mailed to members last weekend.
Members will decide whether to accept the new
constitution at a Special General Meeting held on the night of the Main
Meeting on 22 November.
If you did not get a copy of the constitution and
would like one please let us know at: newsletter@sydneypc.com
Next week we have one SIG meeting and it being
held on Saturday at Penrith.
Saturday 5 November - Penrith
Group - F. Bowman - 2:00pm - 5:00pm
The Penrith SIG made an image of the C: drive in a
laptop running Windows 7 at their last meeting. The computer's hard disk
was then swapped with one containing the image. Fortunately, it
all worked. The operation took a little over 90 minutes.
At next Saturday's meeting the group will hold their usual question and answer session around the table to share problems, advice and tips.
They will then:
- continue to use and explore some of the
features in Microsoft Publisher;
- compare two image editors for image resizing, cloning and red eye removal;
