We were given an excellent presentation on how to trace your family - first from Mary Hewson, on the sources available - a fact sheet was handed out to enable anyone interested to get started - and then a comprehensive demonstration of a well-proven and impressive genealogical program for the Mac - Reunion - which showed well in presenting the details and the family tree of a huge number of ancestors that Trevor Hewson has found and researched over… Read more…

This months Fareham meeting kicked off with WindowsXP showing on the screen. Shock, horror... Were we at the wrong meeting, wrong date...!?! No, thankfully it was to demo a piece of new technology which is currently only available for PC use. As it was so impressive and will be made available for the Mac it was deemed suitable!

So what was this marvellous technology, it was a magical pen which when used to… Read more…

Numbers were a bit down this month but perhaps people were in the back garden sun bathing - it was certainly hot enough!

There were a few questions and answers as usual then we had a brief look at spam - how is it we get targeted and how to deal with it either using Mail's junk filter or before it gets anywhere near your Mac.

We were then treated to two impromptu… Read more…

Another good meeting with new faces - both members and visitors -and presentations by Michael Corgan on Dashboard and where to get widgets and how, and by Lionel on how to make web-site widgets giving immediate access to a web page using Safari - couldn't be easier!

We had a good attendance for the May meeting plus several "really sorry to miss this one" emails. Lots of people wanted to hear Dot's talk on genealogy. Those that attended were not disappointed! Dot is clearly no amateur when it comes to tracing family history and it showed in the level of detail she'd managed to uncover. She also used her experience to warn us of the many resources that are now… Read more…

A very good audience of 15 plus a visitor from Reading, and a most excellent presentation from Bob Campbell of onOne Software. Bob showed how many different actions , which would be complicated and/or time consuming in Photoshop, such as masking out a hairline agagainst a sky background, or, even more impresive, a net, such as a bride's veil, which could be masked whilst retaining the finest detail of the net. These plug-ins are also… Read more…

John opened the meeting, with 14 members present.

Mark provided a demonstration of iWeb, which he introduced by showing us some examples of websites which he had created. IWeb offers a variety of styles and templates to start with, and it is possible to set up an eye-catching site with no knowledge of HTML. As one would expect, there are good links to material produced using Apple's other iLife programmes, and good… Read more…
