Linux aka Tuxlug
SIG
When you have Linux installed, you are never again confronted
by a virus or malware. You use your computer all the time
without concern. And Linux systems have everything you will
ever need. Systems such as Ubuntu or Kubuntu have thousands
of files, including Word Processing, Graphics, Internet,
Photo Manipulation, and Presentations. Backing up Linux
are thousands of programmers scattered all over the world
who are constantly preparing new material.
You update your computer 2 or 3 times a week at no charge.
At TUXLUG, our Linux Special Interest Group, we have mentors
who guide you to become a polished Linux user. We look forward
to you and your friends joining with us at TUXLUG.
We now have a new communications tool for asking and answering
questions about UBUNTU and KUBUNTU operating systems. Just
address your message to this E-mail address:
tuxlug@yahoogroups.com
When you send a question to this address, it will be received
by 33 members of our glorious group. And whenever you have
a helpful answer, send it to the same address and all 33
members will see it.
Call Bill Tracy at (818) 618-8741 or email him
to get current info, meeting location or if you have a
question about this SIG.
Meets 3rd Wednesday at 6:30 pm.
Imaging
SIG
Our Imaging SIG has a very interactive format. We meet monthly
to share information we've learned about - digital photography,
new and related updated computer photography programs. The
programs we generally use are Gimp and Photoshop Elements.
By working on special projects, entering - and winning -
image/photographic contests, makes us enjoy our learning
experience even more. We also take field trips to local
exotic places to take photographs. We then discuss the pictures
and experiment to learn new ways to use Photo Shop to manipulate
the photos. Bring your projects to the Imaging SIG and let
us help you with them.
So come and join us - every 2nd Thursday evening at 7:00
pm.
Call Susie Phelps at (818) 848-9810 or email her
for updated information.

Meetings Temporarily Suspended
Note: In the past the meetings have been
held on the 2nd Saturday of each month at 2:00 pm.

Watch for Next Meeting Announcement
Ideas for Healthy, Vibrant, Easier Living after Age 25
Our efforts up to the point where I went back to school,
were primarily geared toward things you can do with a minimum
amount of effort. The idea is to enhance our ability to
live with less contamination and a healthier future. Do
things the easy way.
We talked about the reasons to give up plastics. To eat
with more simplicity. Lower our dependence upon so called
convenience foods and appliances. Increase our ability
to live the old fashioned way to save time, money and
maintain
health.
Every day, we are bombarded with expensive products that
are not only injurious to our health and welfare, but are
completely unnecessary. We will talk about these things
and more when I return from Academia and get back to work!
In the meantime, write me an email with any questions you
may have. I will do my best to answer you promptly.
Talk with you later, Doris Richards
