July 18, 2015 Getting Started with Evernote

You’ve heard that Evernote (https://evernote.com) is one of the most powerful tools you can use to increase your productivity. It often makes those Top 10 Tools lists but what is it? What can you really use it for? How do you get started?

Marry Ann Clark is a long-time member of the group having been an Apple fan since 1979, first as an Apple II user and now as the proud owner of an Apple Air, iPad, and iPhone. She first started using Evernote in 2008 and still doesn’t feel as though she’s yet plumbed the depths of what it can do.

Need to buy guns or drugs? Hire a hit man? Browse the Library of Congress? You’ll know how after this informative and entertaining presentation. Deep Web-Dark Web Presentation

We are enhancing our Q & A portion of the meeting, this month.  So, you can submit questions to the secretary via email secretary@pmug.us or hand them in at the desk on Saturday and we will try to answer them.  We will be taking questions from the floor as usual, as well.

JB is to the PC club what John Carter is to PMUG. He is a retired IBM employee and does presentations to the PC club monthly. The presentation his is giving has been presented to the PC club and Pam thought the content would be interesting to the PMUG community as it platform independent.

March 21, 2015 Apple TV, mSecure and Tips and Tricks

This month we have a triple header. First John Carter will introduce the club to Apple TV, the Bob Kitterer will tell us all about mSecure, finally we’ll have a question and answer, tips and tricks session. Something for everyone!

John Carter has been an avid Mac user since 2002. He has recently discovered photography and astrophotography. To this end, John started the Digital Mac SIG (Special Interest Group). The purpose of the SIG is to introduce digital photography using a Mac and any camera of your choice, which may even be an iPhone or iPad. This presentation is not about how to take photos, but how to get them off the camera and into the computer, organize them, edit them, and share them.

Bob spent most of his working career doing physics, which means he broke lots of things. While in college he learned IBM assembly, FORTRAN and PASCAL programming languages. Later he taught himself a few versions of the Basic programming language. His first computer was a Bally Arcade which soon lead to an Apple II in 1978 and later Macs of which he had had a fair number.

Ward Stanke, Dave Rothgery, and Mike Pavlinch (a new member) will tell us all about Apple’s new Macintosh Operating System, Yosemite.  PMUG members requested this topic, and presenters will address the changes in the newest software and answer questions.  This is an opportunity for the group to learn about the software before upgrading.
