After a brief taster of a couple of the delights of IOS 15 to whet the appetite for the topic being addressed in detail at our November meeting Euan introduced us to ePub. After describing where ePub fits alongside PDF and HTML we were shown examples of ePub documents can embody text, video, audio and images and what's more Euan showed us we all already possessed the means of generating ePub files. The attendees using… Read more…

Salisbury’s first meeting post-lockdown was held in the old Shoemakers Hall at The Pheasant Inn, an early Tudor building in the city centre. Though the weather was atrocious, 8 members and 1 guest attended.

As a personal gift for help in the past, Barry gave Brian Tapper a voucher entitling a couple to have a steam train excursion as he thought that though Brian was an avid photographer of steam… Read more…

For Bournemouth’s first post-lockdown meeting, 10 members and one visitor gathered in All Fired Up to exchange stories of lockdown experiences and for the customary questions and answers.

Lockdown purchases included home automation, notably ‘connected’ doorbells, multi-port dongles for USB-C Macs, new iPhones and Apple’s new AirTags. The generally agreed most useful feature of Apple’s technology during lockdown was video conferencing/calling… Read more…

Euan explained the technical wonders and evolution of Apple’s new M1 chip which is replacing Intel processors across the Mac range and is also used in the iPad Pro. He discussed some very technical details but the talk was aimed at a more general audience and he successfully held our interest and attention.

After visiting the development of integrated circuits from Jack Kilby’s first experimental design through Apple&rsquo… Read more…

New, organiser, new venue and lots of familiar faces. Stuart has taken over from Jeanette and as we'd lost our old booking found us a new room - in The Victory Hall at Warsash. The wi-fi signal is a little weak but we'll find a way round that. It was a really good turn out for our first face-to-face meeting post lockdown with nearly all our regulars present. There was no formal presentation… Read more…

This was our first face-to-face meeting following the switch to virtual on-line meetings because of Covid. It was also the first in our new venue Yarn Barton. There were six attendees: three from Beaminster and three stalwarts of the club whose support and expertise is most helpful. Since this was a new beginning David P explored what members might want from the sessions and established that a balance of presentation on diverse… Read more…

This was our second physical meeting (even if in the open air) and celebrated the 500th physical meeting our Chairman Mick Burrell has attended. David and Margaret Whitton kindly hosted the occasion in their garden and house in Poundbury. Twenty three of us from all AugWessex groups came (sadly, four had to cancel for health reasons). After such a disappointing start to August weather, the sun shone on this event; clearly the Gods wanting to… Read more…

Wow! What an evening! Most weather forecasts were predicting thunder storms but it was a beautiful evening over Helen's garden which, I may add, looked as if it were part of Kew. We were able to sit on the lawn, basking in the late evening sun and enjoying Helen's delicious food. She hadn't told us she's a Michelin starred chef when she offered to host but what a treat. However, it was 50/50 whether… Read more…

Our new session of having a monthly Q&A online meeting got off to a good start with ten of us. Questions ranged from a glitch using TeamViewer leading to discovering that Apple have a screen share app on the Mac, do I need ethernet and wi-fi both connected on a Mac to preparing a Mac for sale or disposal. Hopefully the answers made sense and even those who joined in to learn… Read more…

Our first meeting since March 2020, really a social get together, hosted by Georgia Cheer in her lovely garden in Poundbury was a most enjoyable occasion and great to meet up physically rather than from behind our Mac screens. Fourteen of us attended and many had the added pleasure/education of Georgia's husband John showing them/us his stunning 1924 Rolls Royce beautifully renovated to original specification. The meeting started at 7.00 pm with… Read more…
