First Meetings for theyear in February at Moera and St Giles

Firstly, may I wish all NZPCA members, and others, who read this a Happy New Year. Jim Oliver is going to address both groups next month. At the Hutt, on the 13th, he is going to discuss the various graphics formats that we are familiar with – like BMP, GIF and JPG -- and perhaps a few that we don’t use so often! In contrast, the meeting in Wellington two days later will replicate the talk on Bit Torrent that he gave at Moera in November. This topic requires a broadband connection to the Internet to be effective and one using Whoosh wireless technology will be used for the occasion. Robin Hinde checked that technology out at the Christmas party and found the reception at St Giles to be perfectly satisfactory.

Both meetings should be full of interest and we all know that Jim is an excellent speaker, so we hope to see you all at one or the other --- or both!
