Ann needs help with the pop corn and getting movie started also clean up after movie.

Tip of the day: We should all back up our computer in three other places besides the computer its self. Make two sets of CD’s of every thing on your hard drive. Put one set in a fire safe stored in cool protected place away from other CD’s. The other set get a friend to store for you under similer conditions as you did for the one you saved. The other site is on the internet. One site on the internet is carbonite.com promo code rush.
There is a charge. After the files have been down loaded carbonite will backup what you do every time you are on the computer.

The program for February 20,2009 will be Ann with a repeat of Trubo Tax. She will have numbers, etc. to go in the blanks so it will be easier to see how it works.

The program for February 27, 2009 will be presented by Janee on using your pictures to make slide shows with music, captions and or narration. Also how to get pictures in e-mail and other applications.

Computer Club meets at 8:45 on Fridays.
