Another good attendance resulted in much lively discussion before the meeting formally started. When Alan eventually managed to bring us to order, the Q&A session covered a variety of topics including how Alan came to have some old dormant 2004 Windows viruses on his 2007 machine, conversion of Appleworks documents, rumours of a new iMac (and whether or not it would be able to run pre-Lion versions of the OS to run… Read more…

Mark opened the meeting. 15 members were present the floods having prevented many from travelling.

Tom told us about motion induced blindness - Drivers advised to keep moving eyes and not become fixated on one spot, otherwise danger of losing peripheral vision. This can be a danger for elderly motorists, and Tom wanted to show us a computer simulation to demonstrate this. Unfortunately, the Colliton Club network proved unequal to the task, and so… Read more…

With 2GB of space being available free of charge, this could well be enough for your most important data. he also explained how it could be used to share files with others either by… Read more…

Brian and Reg did a double act for us this month taking us through how you get started with producing a newsletter using Pages. Despite the restrictions of using the small laptop screen rather than the somewhat larger screen of his iMac, Reg managed to move stuff around and show us how he produced the main header banner from different components and then grouped them all together to be moved around as one. He then… Read more…

The iPod Touch and the Apple Remote App came next, followed by Airfoil to stream from the BBC iPlayer on a MacBook. However it was only with the advent of Airplay on… Read more…

We welcomed 25 members to this month's meeting, which must be at least approaching some sort of a record. One of the reasons for such a large turn out, despite the temptations of a fine Spring evening, was undoubtably the promise of Mick's presentation on the subject of iCloud.

We started, however, with a test of the improvements to the Colliton Club's Wi-Fi feed. This proved to be easier to use than… Read more…
