Operating systems and Applications Focus Groups. 

Focus groups will be assigned with a club laptop with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 or a Mac computer (if available). If your have your own laptop and would like to bring it, please do so. Due to the lack of AC plug-ins, fully charge your laptop the night before the meeting. Do you have a Mac laptop? Please bring it to the meeting, so a group can form with that interest. We will split up into individual groups, each having a specific operating system - XP, Vista, Win 7. Each group will explore topics that are interesting. For those with a specific problem or question one can address their group for an answer. Perhaps you have a new program application, a new email client or a photo archival and retrieval application, and would like to demonstrate it to the prospective group - lets do it! This should be challenging, educational, helpful and fun.

NOTE - Annual BASCC Board of Directors elections. From the list of candidates presented at the 6/01 general meeting members present will cast their Ballot for the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee will count the votes and present the results before the end of that day’s general meeting. The new Board appointees meet after the general meeting to choose the President, Secretary, Treasurer and two Members-at-Large from their newly elected group. Their term takes effect the July 1.
MAC Computer users - Would you like to be part of our MAC User Group (MUG)? MUG will meet after the BASCC regular meetings from 11 to 11:45 a.m.  For contact, call J.R. Moore, 541-888-8752.
