The meeting was called to order by President Frank Beaven at 9:00 a.m. Due to a cold he turned over the meeting to treasurer Ann Iverson. She told us about a conversation with our park manager Ken Shrensel regarding Wifi speed. With so many connected it simply won't be fast enough. We have asked him for a 30 mg connection in the fiesta room which would be password protected if just for the computer club members. If that comes about we may have to raise our dues next year.
If you leave your wifi connection on ,when you pass a hot spot it will connect and you will be using up minutes unknowingly so know how to turn it off.
It was decided that since we have a little over $1800.00 in our treasury we will not put on a meatloaf dinner in March--also there wasn't much inthusiasm in those present to work on one.
We will reserve a date for next year.
Ann presented a short program on Print Spooling. It seems some of us are too hasty when printing and hit the print button more than once thus wasting paper. Some also don't cancel the print which then means Ann or someone has to do it. To check to see if you have prints in the que do the following: go to 1. adjust your computer settings 2. hardware and sounds 3. view device and printers 4. default printer.
Next weeks program hopefully will be on (smart phones). Paul Black will bring his Kindle from which he gets book downloads from Amazon. Marcel Dewulf showed his I Pad which is smaller and faster than a computer. Starting price for an I Pad is $499.00. One cannot attach a printer to one however.
Ardell Easterday, sec.
