Charleston Library
6301 W Charleston (East of Torrey Pines)
We had a great meeting on May 7th with more fun things to come. The meeting was started by Clyde Schubarth, the new President, introducing the Board of Directors for this next year. The Board that served for 2007-2008 were brought up and Certificates of Appreciation were given to them for their hard work. A special award was given to Don Sabatine for the work that he put in this past year. Don attended many of the SIG meetings every month, has worked on Product Review projects, and helped the LVPCUG in many ways. We do appreciate the work that all of our volunteer members do.
Clyde explained that the members will be receiving emails instead of postage mail with information. Also within the next couple of days, an article on CD/DVD differences will be posted to our website under Tips and Tricks. You will want to check it out to find out the many things happening with the CD/DVD products. It was also mentioned that Microsoft has applied to the FCC to begin the process of releasing Windows 7 which will replace Vista by 2010.
We then spent time listening and learning about Mixcraft, a software program that will easily help you become your own recording studio. This presentation was done by Dan Goldstein of Acoustica. We have a great surprise for you in the next couple of days that you will want to see. Watch for an email from us.
At the end of the meeting the members were told about the HP Learning Center that has free classes on line. You can go to www.HP.com and click on the Learning Center. There are classes on Microsoft Office, Linux, and many other topics. Check it out!
We had some great door prizes that were given away – two full copies of the Mixcraft software, a package of DVDs, several software packages.
The SIG meeting for Digital Imaging Technologies will be cancelled this month because the regular meeting day is Mother’s Day.

We are a non-profit organization based in Las Vegas, Nevada that began in the 1980's. LVPCUG relies on its members to provide unique resources for the benefit of those interested in the field of computers.
The organization's goals are to promote fellowship among members, share computer knowledge and contribute computer expertise. Members use, recommend and install the latest products, and help individuals to utilize the capabilities of the technology they own.
This is a wonderful opportunity for people to learn more about computers. You can attend a meeting presented by a knowledgeable speaker; explore your interest with Special Interest Groups; get the latest copy of the newsletter that contains technical articles, reviews, and other news to read at your leisure.
Any individuals interested in computers may apply for membership. Whether you are a novice, expert, computer professional, or an average computer user who wants to maximize existing skills or acquire more, we invite you to join with us in pursuing this collaborative mission.
