Fhtv computer club March 5,2010

There were 19 members in attendance, the largest this season.
Frank asked for volunteers for a nominating committee and hearing none he will ask around to see who will be run for secretary. He and Ann will continue to serve in their respective offices. Ann did ask to be relieved of running the Friday night movies. Bob Rogers said he thought Clare would be willing to take over next season. The last movie this season will be on April 9th.
It was noted that we can now use Blu Ray with our new projector.
A question was asked how to speed up a computer. Suggestions were to defrag every two weeks, have fewer items on the start up menu, and use clean up--(ccleaner }.is a free program.
Some prefer Firefox over internet explorer for a brouser.
Ann showed pictures taken by a man from East of make up being applied and other scenes before the Entertainers Show.
President Frank gave us a very interesting program on using Skype. He prearranged a hookup with a cousin in Messina, Sicily so we were able to hear and see the two converse.
Frank told us that Google will store up to 10 gigs of pictures free.
