An 89 year old woman rammed me at a stop light a few weeks back and almost made me sit this one out. It ended up only being whiplash with some soft tissue damage. No broken vertebrae, just some swelling and trouble sleeping for a while. A modern professional athlete prescription repaired things at an amazing rate. Thanks to steroids, I'll be there.

 

[glitzyone]

Wow Marty you are a hoot. Do people still use that word, hoot?

Two here attending.

I have been looking at cameras so this will help. When I downsize I can photo the process. And since my computer crashed last week and I lost one years worth of photos I can find out who saves where, for on-line photos. Guess I need to start that asap.

also I have been putting of the thank you notes for the raffles from the frag swap, just been overwhelmed with stuff to do and get done...........so I am going to bring those so members can help me get those out.

See you there.

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

Hey Marty, I will be there.

 

[ducklabdad]

Robin and i will be there so long as I can get out of the office in time.

 

[sperry]

Doris and I plan on being there

OH GIRL!!!!!!!

If you're not practicing "Safe Computing", you need to fix that right now!

We've all done that (crashed a 'puter and lost everything), once in our Lives. ONCE!

My Solution these days, and my most ardent recommendation for everybody who'll listen, is an External Hard Drive:

My Solution these days, and my most ardent recommendation for everybody who'll listen, is an External Hard Drive:

That is better than not backing up at all but just remember that inside that external hard drive case is the exact same type of drive that is in your computer and is just as prone to failure.

I use an external for storing stuff also BUT if I have really important files and pictures that I just feel I cannot live without, I burn them to cd/dvd and put them in the fire safe. It is a much more reliable media if they are cared for.

I can tell you that last week alone I had 6 computers dropped off at my shop that were hard drive failure related. of those 2 lost all of their data.

That being said I will be attending the meeting Marty..lol

 

[MrRyanT]

I plan to be there, not sure yet about the wife and 2 kids.

 

[OneReef]

I may be about 30 minutes late (6:30pm) but I plan on being there.

 

[630mason]

Sherry and I will be there . If it's OK I'm gonna bring my 2 girls along too.

:celeb2:
This shoould be a very fun and informative meeting to start with. And not to mention Marty has an awesome set up.

 

[Mako Shark II]

Guys, thanks for all the positive feedback. Right now, the headcount is tipping 40, and our house (where we'll be) really isn't that enormous, if you don't mind "closeness".

Also, don't forget to BYOB. I'll have a cooler out back filled with ice.

I look forward to seeing everyone and having a productive session.

I say try it before you buy it. I wasn't a member when I went to my first meeting. You can see if the family likes it as there is a single and family membership.

 

[ihavtats29]

alkamar, i got your messg. tried to send you a Pm but your inbox is full. so definately please give me a call tommorow, i believe you still have my number, just let me know what time and where. we will be ready =0) appreciate it

 

[crpeck]

I'm still up in the air, but trying to make the meeting. Hubby has thrown last minute plans at me.

For the PC crash thing, I have an external drive and I use Carbonite. It's an online service that will store unlimited backup for $49/year. The first back up takes a few days, but after that, it works in the background and automatically backs up all changes and additions in the files you tell it to keep up with. Everything is encrypted and password locked so it's safe.

Everybody is Always Welcome! New Members especially and interested parties. I've recruited two new ones myself!! They will be at the meeting.

I was just letting folks know we will be well populated. (That's a good thing!) We just might be a little tight is all.


Please, everyone come. (I'm looking forwared to this!)
