Greetings:
I hope no one went to Holy Cross on the 4th expecting us to be there for our meeting. I hope you recall that due to the first Wednesday falling on the 4th our meeting for this month only will take place on the second Wednesday, which is, of course, the 11th. I expect a good turnout to listen to Dean pontificate and tell us how he really feels about M$ products and fill us in about all new things concerning Apple.
Because our door prize closet has an abundance on content, this month I will bring a selection of items. The four lucky members whose numbers are chosen may choose from among the following:
2 TB external hard drive
Canon 14 MP digital camera
Rosewell hard drive docking station Linksys wireless N router
Hawking wireless N network dish adapter
iHome speaker lamp for all MP3 players
Kodak digital photo frame
4 GB flash drive
8 AA batteries
The usual rules will apply; each paid membership will receive one raffle ticket but additional tickets can be purchased at the cost of $1 or 6/$5. Only one prize per membership still applies, of course.
If you get tired of seeing all the political and other horrible ads on TV take a break and watch a really nice ad from the BBC: www.youtube.com/embed/auSo1MyWf8g?rel=0 <
We do have a User Group Discount List this month, which appear in the emailed version of the newsletter. Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday,
Pete

The Affiliate Myth
Once upon a time, the online world known as the internet was such a new idea that very few people knew it even existed. People used it to publish and share important data and communicate between computers. Then, some bright computer developers invented software that would make it easy for everyone to use the internet -- and then others invented ways of putting pictures on the internet. By the early 1990s, the internet was a fabulous world of visual communication that connected people all over America. Then someone said : 'let's use the internet to SELL STUFF' !' and the internet changed forever.
