[DM-MUG] Tues night meeting minutes

[Ray Bowler]

Hi everybody, Here are the sect. notes from last nights meeting.

Victoria brought the meeting to order and started the tips segment 
with the following:

	1. Silverkeeper: a backup program from LaCie --provided with 
their drives. Simple program.

	2. WhatSize: shows the size of folders and files. 
<http://www.id-design.com>.

	3. Quicksilver: <http://quicksilver.blacktree.com> Locate and 
launch programs and files.

Russ Carlson sent a URL for MacJanitor-- 
<http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html>.
This is one of a number of programs which will run the daily, weekly 
and monthly maintenance scripts in OS 10 if you do not have your MAC 
running at the time of the scheduled running of the scripts by the 
OS. I believe that this is addressed in 10.4.9 so that they run when 
the machine is rebooted.

Ray Bowler pointed out a way to enlarge the image on the screen:

	System Preferences > Keyboartd and Mouse > Mouse -- at the 
bottom a check mark for
	"Zoom using scroll wheel while holding 'Control'". The 
options button allows you to set the way the cursor moves the image.

A caution (if I understand this correctly} on an external drive 
having both USB and Firewire ports do not plug both in at once and 
turn the drive on. It fries the Firewire port on the computer.

CW Smith then gave a presentation of how to transfer music from LPs 
to CDs. The presentation will be posted on the website soon. Input 
using iMic or a USB turntable, use Audacity (freeware) to edit it and 
then iTunes and then burn to CD.

There were several quick questions brought up for discussion.

We should note that the person traveling furthest for the meeting is 
C. Darlene Reger from Harns, MO. And I thought getting to the meeting 
from Calisle was long.

Meeting adjourned at  8:30.

Thanks to CW Smith for the presentation and Haddock for the space and 
cookies and pop.

Feel free to post any corrections and additions.
