Time permitting, we'll also take a look at Google Notebook, an ideal way to collect and maintain web research notes to yourself or to gather web clippings for your research whether it is for school or comparative shopping, etc.
For our advanced presentation, John M has been re-scheduled from 2 months ago to introduce us to Microsoft's Powershell software. Yours truly was too long winded last month to allow time for an Advanced Session presentation
Powershell is essentially for us CLI / Shell / scripting geeks who need a way to get the near impossible done and make the easily done even easier. At least that's the way it seems to me in my own preliminary overview. Hopefully, John M can show us some practical examples of how we might put Powershell to use in our day-to-day computer operations. At the very least we will become aware of its capabilities and potential use.
For a peek at Powershell's features take a look at this link…

So come out and join us for our June meeting. It's a chance to learn how others are using and managing their computers and digital equipment.
June 2008
For our main presentation this month we plan to have John D. continue our introduction to all things Google. We plan to take a look at an add-in called Gspace for Firefox which turns your Google mail into an FTP site for quickly storing files of all types. For more information see http://www.getgspace.com/ .
Our greatest strength as a group is our combined knowledge and interest in all things computing. Watch this space for the latest topics that keep us talking.
