Windows Home Server: KEGS Member Bob Baxter will discuss this relatively new MS product for home. Windows Home Server is intended for general home use to provide backup and file sharing services. It does not require a lot of networking or server knowledge. Bob will not be discussing all of the features listed above. He will provide an overview on setting it up at home, setting up or adding PCs, file sharing, and managing backups. Bob will bring his Windows Home Server and maybe two laptops to share an actual setup. |

Roxio Easy Media Creator 10--What can you do with this Program? January’s demo got snowed out and shortened quite a bit. See what you can do to those old VCR tapes and slides and such. How do you handle audio? And pictures and digital photos? This is the program you need to handle all these tasks. See captured video being edited and DVDs created. Come see what was missing from the first presentation. Roxio is now offering email discounts and you can get this program now for $49.95, a 50% discount off of list price! Come see if it is worth the price! |

Update on Viruses, Malware, etc.--The planned presentation for the April General Meeting will be a little different than usual. Our guest speaker will be Randy Abrams from ESET LLC. If you attended last November’s meeting, you recall that Randy gave us a very interesting presentation on the use of heuristics in anti-virus programs. He showed how heuristics were used to identify computer viruses and why many companies are using this technology to find and remove viruses instead of pre-identified signatures. At this month’s meeting, Randy will give us a short update on viruses, the current threat and other malware that we need to be concerned about. Then, we will have a period of questions and answers that Randy refers to as “Ask the Expert.” This should be very interesting. In an effort to balance the opportunities to ask Randy questions, we will ask attendees to write up to two questions on cards that will be provided to you at the sign-in table. Then, Randy will pick from these questions and provide answers to those that he can cover during the time available. We hope you enjoy this format. Be sure to invite a friend or neighbor to our meeting. |

Optimize Windows XP by David Dodge. “It’s spring. Time to tune up the car, the house, and of course the computer. Now is the time to optimize those Windows XP systems. If you are not ready for Vista, this session is for you. Learn how to speed up your hard drive, clear some gunk off your system and make things fly, or at least appear to. Revisit some old techniques and learn some new techniques. Got Outlook? What do I do with all that mail? Think you know everything? Come stump the experts.” Be sure to invite a friend or neighbor to our meeting. |
