New MacIntosh Study Group Meets 1st Monday 6:30
p.m.
July General Session
"You, Too, CAN BE A STAR!"
July 16th at 7:00 PM, by Doris Collins
Have
you ever wanted to be the star of your own show? With the
popularity of "YouTube" these days, anyone can do it!
One of our own, Jim Foreman, has made and uploaded YouTube
videos and will show us all the secrets of how to do it at the
July General Meeting. I sure wish he could serve us some the
“Cowboy Biscuits” he demonstrates in one of his videos. I’ve
made them and they are great!
Jim was born in the Texas Panhandle in a town that no longer
exists and grew up on a small ranch. During his career he has
owned a few small companies: crop spraying, drive-in movie
theater and pet cemetery. After two years in the army he was a
deputy sheriff for a few months before opening a motorcycle
dealership. Then he went to work for Sears where he stayed for
the next twenty years.
He retired at 50 years of age to do what he wanted to, which
began with building a house in Black Forest, Colorado, where he
could write, take photos and fly. He formed a small company that
made airplane parts. He also wrote about 150 magazine articles
and half a dozen books while in Colorado.
After ten years enjoying the harsh winters at 8,000 feet in
Colorado, he sold the house and lived on the road in a motor
home for the next two years before settling in Moore, Oklahoma.
He says of himself, "Most people would say I can't hold a real
job and have been unemployed for the last 30 years."
Jim's son gave him a digital video camera for Christmas so he
had to figure out something to do with it. He bought a book on
Windows XP and after several false starts he was able to post
his first video on YouTube about five months ago. After half a
dozen more, they seem to be getting easier, he says.
Jim's presentation should prove to be entertaining and
enlightening. I know I am eagerly looking forward to it.
The Computer Club of Oklahoma City has two door prizes to give
to its members, and two for visitors. This month the prize for
the first visitor will be a one-year membership to the Computer
Club of Oklahoma City; the second visitor’s prize will be a
4GB Flash Drive. For the members’
drawings, we have an MX Resolution rechargeable cordless laser
mouse, which bills itself as the “World’s Most Advanced Mouse.”
(It does have a lot of neat features!). We also have a 250GB “My
Passport Essential” Portable External Hard Drive.
Please join us for an informative lesson and stay for the
drawing for these prizes. Remember that if you bring guests, you
may complete an extra prize drawing slip for each guest you
bring who has not attended the General Meeting in the last three
months. However, if you win a prize, you are only allowed to win
one prize an evening and if your name is drawn again, it will be
put aside and another name drawn.
THE FOLLOWING IS VERY
IMPORTANT: In fairness to all, no one will be allowed
to register for the drawing after 7:05 pm. You MUST have a
current Computer Club of Oklahoma City badge with you to enter
the members' prize drawing. If you forget your badge, you have
lost it, or it has expired, you will not be eligible to fill out
a prize drawing slip. If you need a new badge, or need to renew
your membership to the Club, please see or email our Membership
Chairman, Jack Milner, at least 24 hours before the General
Meeting. No new or replacement badges will be printed the night
of the meeting. Jack's email address is
JMilner000@aol.com , and
the phone number for the Club's
Resource
Center is 405-843-4300
(leave a message if there is no answer). This is a firm rule for
all meetings, so please be sure you bring your badge with you
each month. You are welcome to stay for the presentation without
your badge, but you will not be allowed to participate in the
drawing, no matter how long you've been a member of the Club.
You are, of course, welcome to place your membership with the
Club that evening, but you will not be eligible to participate
in the drawing until the following month.

SeniorNet Users Group
(SNUG)
|
News from Charlene Francis
For Those 50 +
|
SNUG is a group of computer users age 50
plus. Together, we have been exploring and
learning about computers and the ever
changing technology for 16 years. At our
weekly meetings, we help each other solve
problems and we also share the good news and
the bad news about what we do with our
computers; or, we may have a presentation
given by one of our members or a computer
related company. Joining this group is a
great opportunity to become a member of a
very friendly and special community that
offers benefits not found elsewhere.
When you join our group, there are many
benefits including a 1 year membership on
the local level in CCOKC (Computer Club
Oklahoma City) and on a National (or,
International) level, in SeniorNet (SrNet)
which is based in Santa Clara, CA, and both
are non-profit organizations with a strong
mission to help others learn about
computers. If you want to know more about
them, check out their website,
www.ccokc.org
and/or
www.seniornet.org.
Another significant benefit is the SrNet
Computer Classes that we offer.
SNUG is a non-profit organization and an
integral part of the Computer Club of
Oklahoma City (CCOKC). A large portion of
our income is from Membership Dues. The
total cost of a Sr. Combo (or SNUG)
Membership is $60.00 for the 1st year.
($40.00 goes to SeniorNet and the remaining
$20 goes to CCOKC). The total cost for
renewal fees for 1 year is $55, ($30.00 for
SeniorNet and $25.00 for CCOKC). Further,
you pay renewal fees directly to each
organization when you receive your renewal
notice from them.
SNUG meets every Thursday morning from
10a.m. -12 Noon and you do not have to be a
member to attend.
The second Thursday is Windows Tips
and Tricks. All other Thursday meetings are
problem solving sessions, presentations,
visits to cool websites etc.
In the problem solving area, if one
person doesn't know the answer, another
person will. Visitors are always welcome. If
you would like to learn more about us/our
SrNet Classes, or, if you have a question,
please feel free to visit our meeting at the
time indicated above or contact Charlene
Francis, 405 359 5675/

groups, technical support, education, training,

June 18, 2009 General Meeting Review
Did Your Television Make the Conversion?
Presented by Julian Barrie, Loss Control Manager at Best Buy
5801 N. May Ave., OKC
By Carol Bennett
Julian was kind enough to fill in for Jeff Lyles who was our
scheduled speaker and was called away by other duties.
Julian spoke to us about the boxes that will convert the new
digital signal to work on our old
analog televisions. He passed around a new antenna and an
Apex converter box.
He suggested we could go to terk.com or hdtvok.com
to find whether you will need a regular antenna that just plugs
into the converter box or an amplified antenna that plugs into
the converter box and an electrical outlet to enable you to
receive the best reception.
Of course, if you have
Cox or a satellite receiver, you don't need a converter box. You
will not receive HD channels unless you have an HD television
and upgrade to HD service.
The group questioned Julian about the ability to maintain a
constant volume level when changing channels or during
commercials. He explained that the stations set their own volume
level and the level for commercials, but some of the
converters do have a control will maintain a constant
volume level (brands not given).
We were told that you can operate both a converter box and
Cox/satellite at the same time. The new HD televisions have an
HD receiver built in and can receive the HD transmission through
a antenna while also receiving the signal from the Cox/satellite
receiver.
Our next topic was TiVo, which is a monthly service that allows
you to record television programs. It is made of a box that
houses a hard drive. You buy your own TiVo box and then pay for
the monthly service. There are several sizes for boxes, each
increasing in price and storage capacity.
One of the neatest features was the “thumbs up” or the
'thumbs down”. “Thumbs up “ will record future programs
of the same title, the same stars or the same time frame,
depending on how your TiVo is programed. If you record a program
you don't want, press the “thumbs down” button and it erases all
of those programs and will not record it again. Also if there is
a preview for a program or a movie playing on the television,
you press the “thumbs up” button on the control and it will
automatically record the program or movie when it plays without
any further effort on your part.
DVR is service provided by both Cox and some of the satellite
providers. There is an additional charge for this service. The
difference between the DVR and TiVo is that you need no
converter box to use the DVR service from Cox/satellite service.
The newest gadget was a camcorder with a GPS locator that can
tag the location onto the video as to exactly where you are
taking it.
The new Samsung television is an LED and is only 1.25 inches
thick.
The door prizes drawing were held at the conclusion of the
meeting. Visitor Josie Thompson received the free CCOKC
membership. Visitor T.J. McNeely received the 8GB flash drive.
Members Kay Morrow and Aaron Spencer received digital photo
frames and Member Robert Fiddes received Microsoft Vista
Ultimate that was given to the club by Jay Ferron President of
the Association of Personal Computers Users Group (APCUG).
