Mulligrubs
The Mulligrubs held their May meeting on Thursday 25th May at 7.00 pm with 21 people attending.
Ross Johnson took the chair, and in a departure from the usual procedure, he asked those present if they would like a particular topic to be covered at future a future meeting.
One member asked for genealogy, and genealogy Society members offered to present a demonstration.
Sue Parton suggested that she could demonstrate how to plan, book and pay for an overseas holiday.
Ross went through the proposals by the Federal Attorney-General to changes in copyright law, and it’s bearing on Information Technology.
John Little reported that he had got over his inability to print incoming emails, by making an adjustment to the paper size settings.
Paul Gurrier-Jones mentioned problems with downloading audio CDs to his hard-drive using www.dartpro.com.
Avril Wilson raised the difficulty in networking between Apple Macintosh and Microsoft computers. It was suggested that both organizations have issued guidelines on this matter. An answer will be ready for her at the next meeting.
An announcement was made that Shoalnet will always store customers emails for them while they are away on a holiday.
A UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) device is now available. This is a small battery pack to run a computer for a limited time in a power blackout allowing the equipment to be shut down properly.
Sue Parton had received yet another scam email, pretending it was sent from our friends at the Commonwealth Bank. It mentioned Bank ‘Stuff’ instead of Bank ‘Staff.’
There followed two demonstrations of how to make a complete back up copy of a computer hard drive known as ‘ghosting’. It is used when installing a new computer with operating systems and programmes.
The first given by Ian Connelly using Acronis True Image, and the second given by Bruce Madden using Casper (the ghost). Both were well presented most interesting.
There will be no meeting in June, but there will be two in July on 6th and 27th held at Shop 3 and 4, Top of the Town, Ulladulla at 7pm. Please bring $4.00 for refreshments.
