Well, it’s that time of year again. The time we begin to prepare for Tampa Bay’s #1 Technology Event. We will have tickets available at this month’s meeting. If you register for this event online (highly suggested well before the event) please use the Registration Code of TX1769--or go to our home page and register from there, and the code will be automatically entered for you. This is really a great event to attend and it’s just as great to work in our booth. The show runs from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM at the Tampa Convention Center and if enough people volunteer to help out we could each work two hours in the booth. There is not much to it, all we want to do is get our name out there and have people join our group. Please send e-mail to president@tpcug.org if you are interested. Perhaps you could also help us distribute tickets? All there is to it is to explain the use of the registration code printed on the back of the ticket.

On a lighter note, let’s talk briefly about some fun learning software. The programs I am talking about are Solitaire, FreeCell and Hearts. Yes, if you are a beginner and have a newer version of Windows, you already have these valuable card games on your computer. IF you haven’t already, find them under GAMES or ACCESSORIES | GAMES. What do they teach? Mouse skills! Yes, they help you practice Clicking, Double-Clicking and Drag-and-Drop. So the next time your boss walks in just tell them you are working on your mouse skills.
