Once again we had a select band meeting at Solutions. The presentation was on MYOB - a very capable accounting system that is also available in a basic form that would suit most people doing their own accounts or just wanting to keep tabs on their finances. It was very ably presented by Craig Dunn who works for Stuart Magnus, a WAMUG member with an accountancy practice in Broadstone. Stuart showed some pictures of his very… Read more…

Our first meeting under the new subscription system. We received a couple of apologees, but despite this managed to tempt fourteen members to a lively meeting.

We kicked off by viewing a couple of the latest Apple adverts, including the new iPod Touch, just to see how many of us have been tempted to date, which led onto discussions about the new iPhone (and who will be tempted when they go on sale… Read more…

Another very good evening but look for comments from others - I am after all biassed!

Twenty one of us made the effort and were (hopefully!) rewarded by an explanation of how e-mail works its way around the internet and how our ISPs deal with it. We then moved on to how to set up Mail for use as your email client and briefly touched on the use of signatures, rules and finally… Read more…

It has become very clear that clashing with important football matches is a very BAD idea! In August it was an England match, this month Manchester United, while next month apparently runs headlong into a another important match - England v Russia! Consequently numbers were very low for this meeting - down to single figures for the first time. However a move to a non-clashing date will bring numbers back up, so watch the WAGs iCal… Read more…

It was probably just as well we couldn't book the site during July - remember the weather? Well, today was excellent with bright sunshine all afternoon - ideal BBQ weather. More than 20 of us made the trip to Anderwood and for most it was their first visit there, but I think everyone agreed it was a superb venue and the suggestion is that we do it again next year. Always a good sign of how well… Read more…

Wow! What a start! Twenty five people turned up for our first Salisbury meeting, so we didn't look lost in the South Wilts science lab after all. Five were existing members who'd travelled miles to add their support - thanks for that you guys, but it still meant there were twenty who could well become Salisbury regulars - plus I've had apology e-mails from two who couldn't make it but normally will, so I guess we… Read more…

A minor change to the format this time saw me presenting a 'tip of the month' - something I'd only just discovered on a Mac despite using them for more than four years! As expected, some attendees knew it already but there were a couple of cries of 'I didn't know it could do that though' from the back! If you've just discovered something you didn't know, we'd be pleased to hear it - I don't as yet… Read more…

This meeting was devoted to a masterly presentation by Phil Binks of Bodoni Systems Ltd, who made the journey from Harefield - just outside Uxbridge - to tell us how best to achieve the correct colour in our prints. Phil covered the whole process, from calibrating the colour space within the computer program, to the monitor and finally in the printer. We should, if we follow his advice, never have off- colour photos again! A PDF containing… Read more…
