Megabyte Articles Wanted!

Come on members - send in your articles! I know lots of you have opinions on aspects of computing which you can share, or favourite programs or websites you would like to tell us about! What about those little short cuts you have learnt, or better ways of doing things?

I need articles for YOUR newsletter! I can cajole and persuade, but its nicer if I have more than I need at any time, so I can always fill up the pages with useful and interesting things. Cartoons, anecdotes, funny (but not rude) stories - whatever!

Send them to the Editor, Megabyte at elamr@paradise.net.nz

Hutt SIG meeting, 12 September 2005

The Hutt SIG meeting on Monday will have a presentation on publishing to a weblog, how to put your images online, and the importance of the IPTC data embedded in your images. These are all especially useful if you wish to share photos with friends or family.

If you don't know what IPTC is, if you haven't used blogger.com, or visited flickr.com, you should make sure you attend this meeting!

See you there.
