Our September 12 meeting speaker will be Bill Shumate, a long time member of AITP. Bill will address these issues and show us a different use of a computer in the home. To better demonstrate these benefits, we will be holding the meeting at Bill’s & Muriel’s home in Suffolk (beginning at 6 PM). A barbecue dinner will be provided. Please let Bill know if you are going to the meeting so an adequate amount of food will be available. You can reach him at work at 827-1250 or at home at 538-1000. A map will be available also.

Please plan on joining us and please bring a friend.

Podcasting is an exciting new net phenomenon that anyone can be part of for free! You can think of it as an easy means of broadcasting and receiving small radio programs – because it is all to do with recording and making available audio files.

Anyone can make a podcast and anyone can receive a podcast. This is exciting enough, but where it becomes even better is that there is no set time when you have to listen. You tell your podcast receiver which podcasts you are interested in (by typing in a normal web address, such as http://www.concepttshirts.com/poetrypodcast.rss for the conceptTshirts.com weekly poetry podcast. Then when you turn on your podcast receiver it will automatically check for any new episodes. If there are any it will automatically download them and tell you. You can then listen to it when ever you want. The podcast might be released at 10.00 on Monday, but you don’t have to listen to it then, you can listen at your own convenience!
