A Community of Apple iPad, iPhone and Mac Users

Retired SIG April 2007 Meeting

By Len Adler

The meeting opened at 1:00 PM with nine members present. Herb Block spoke about life at Leisure World; with reference to the use of Mac computers. The Mac Club of Leisure World now has 56 members with prospects of continued growth. The renovated Club House #2 has a new Computer Learning Center with two brand new iMacs plus two refurbished iMacs..  Herb talked about some of common computer problems he has dealt with, from the quick, easy ones to some requiring complete restoration of the operating system. Leisure World Mac users love their e-mail. Failures in sending e-mail attachments were largely reduced as members learned how to identify mail with RTF format rather than AppleWorks, and to send photos marked jpeg or TIFF.
