Marcia Zientek’s HomePresident's Report
By now you may be aware that Windows Me (Millenium Edition) has hit the market. There wasn’t much fanfare, but then I am not sure of any major improvements from Windows 98. If you want to see what Windows Me is all about, come to the general meeting on the 5th of October and find out for yourself. David Severino from Microsoft will be showing Windows Me and all the changes. If you didn’t make it to the last meeting or if you haven’t been reading the Sunday paper you may not know about CueCat the free internet scanner that is being given away at Radio Shack. Stop and pick one up. We are hoping to demo it at the Telecom SIG. The Bluemound Computer Sale was supposed to be history, but apparently it continues to live at least for the while. The next sale is on October
29th and WAUC will have a table set up. If you would be willing to help man the table, even for a few hours, contact Leo Hoffer. Don’t forget to set your clocks back and Happy Halloween!
Bruce Kosbab, PresidentAugust Board Meeting
The WAUC board of directors met on August 30, 2000, at the home of Doris Regner. Those present included Bruce Kosbab, Doris, Terry Harvey, Jackie Tamsett, Marie Bellin, Leo Hoffer, and Diane Vukovich. Marcia Zientek was on vacation.Still no word on the CD’s we ordered from APCUG in February. Bruce will call APCUG to check on them.
We weren’t thrilled with the sub sandwiches from Sam’s Club that were served at the club’s picnic. We are checking on other food for the next function which will be the annual holiday party. If anyone has suggestions for food, please contact an officer.
The church custodian will be leaving his position. We have been paying him $10 to set up the tables and chairs prior to the general meetings. When he leaves, Leo will be taking over that task. He will be paid the same rate of pay that the church custodian was getting.
Some topics for the PC disk-of-the-month were discussed. Diane and Sandy have some dynamite disks coming up.
It was suggested to include more pictures on WAUC’s website. Marie will be bringing her digital camera to general meetings and SIGs. These pictures will also be used in WAUCtalk. WAUC will purchase a Smart Media card,,which stores the pictures for Marie’s camera. This card will be approximately $40.

Telecom SIG
The Telecom SIG was held on Thursday, September 21, 2000 at SuperAmerica on 60th and Layton. Fifteen inquiring minds met to ask questions and share ideas. This SIG concentrates on suggestions and ideas while using the Internet.Marcia gave us the details on the free hardware distributed by Radio Shack. It is called “Cue Cat”. This is not a “got-to-have” accessory, but it looks like it would be fun. “Cue Cat” includes a mouse, that looks like a cat??? It is connected to the keyboard. Once the software is installed, you can scan the barcodes of any items that you have, i.e. Cheerios, Jell-O, canned goods, frozen food. Just slide the Cue Cat over the barcode, and the web page for that particular item will appear on your screen. Marcia said the software was easy to install, and she enjoyed going to all of the websites.
Tony told us about a free program we can download called ZoneAlarm. It is a type of firewall, which will prevent hackers from getting into your computer. He also told us about a computer radio show on WISN on Saturday mornings, from 9- 11 am.Leo asked if the computer needs to be on to receive a Fax. Yes, but you cannot be on the Internet. You must turn off the Fax when you want to reconnect to the Internet. Leo also wanted to know how to rearrange his desktop icons and lock them in place. Right click on the desktop and then drag the icons where you want them, was a suggestion. Autoarrange will only rearrange icons by date, name, size or type and line them up. Leo was looking for a way to restore them as he had personally arranged them. No one seemed to have an answer for him. Bruce suggested he check the Windows handbook.
Nellie wanted to know how to ignore a man who keeps interrupting her when she is chatting on AOL Instant Messenger. Doris suggested she go to File, message, enter default message, or type one of your own.
If you want to save a web page, or a graphic to disk, follow procedures for saving any file to disk. Right click on the page or the graphic, save images to floppy disk.
Google http://www.google.com/ and Metacrawler http://www.metacrawler.com/, were two favorite search engines. Try this alternative for bookmarking a page: Control D. Magic!!
If you have NaSPA for your ISP, and you want to read your mail from a different computer, go to http://www.naspa.net Click on the Internet icon, and then “members only”. Fill in your user ID and password. Click on “Main”. Marcia said you can send messages, and if you do not delete, the messages will still be on your own computer. She said the only downside is you can’t save or forward the messages.
We were all advised not to open any .exe files that we might receive. That extension stands for an executable file. Any executable file can contain a virus program. Bruce suggested, when choosing a password for a website, that you not use one which spells out a word or name. Mixed letters and numbers are much harder for hackers to break into.
How do you know what version of Windows do you have? Go to My Computer, help, about Windows.
When performing a ScanDisk, be sure to close all programs. To do this: Control-alt-delete. Click on Program and then Delete. You must repeat this same procedure for each program. Close all programs except Explorer and Systray. When you reboot, all programs will be back in place.Nellie told us to go the Froedert Hospital website at http://www.froedtert.com/. There you will find a very reputable medical library.
Thanks to Marcia and Doris for their presentations. It was another lively group discussion.

I became a member of WAUC when it was meeting at the library on Howell Avenue. We had our own BBS and to log on I believe we used a 400 baud modem. At that time I thought the speed was fast. We moved from the library to Security Savings and Loan on 76th Street, and not long after that we were introduced to the web Internet site from UWM which had a text based web page. I then had a modem that would download at 1200 baud. Since it was only text that we were downloading, it didn’t seem too slow. That lasted until we were introduced to a local ISP where we could download programs and graphics. Now I wanted a faster modem and purchased a 2400 baud modem, which seemed pretty fast, but to download Netscape it seemed to take hours. I wanted something faster, and about that time they came out with a 56k modem, but the best I could do was maybe 48k or 49k. I liked it but it always seemed so long to download or bring up an Internet site.At the beginning of this year, news started getting out about a DSL line which compared to 56k, seemed to work at lightning speed. But the cost to install it, plus the monthly fee, and the cost of an ISP, even if you could get it, made me want to wait for a cable connected system, but that installation cost was expensive. In the meantime I was paying for a second line and using Juno from which I had gotten a special deal for 2 years for about $87. I didn’t like other free ISPs because there is too much advertising and it pops up all over the place.
I listen to the computer show every Saturday on WISN at 10am to 11am and one morning they had people from Warner Cable talking about Road Runner. It really sounded like what I was waiting for. They offered 1/2 off for installation, which for me was still expensive, so I put the idea on hold until one day I got a phone call offering me free installation. I said ok and they told me someone would be at my house in 3 days. The installer came when he said he would, and as I already am a subscriber to Warner Cable, they put on a splitter, an ethernet card in my computer, and a cable modem. The speed is terrific and Road Runner is always on; no dialing up. It is there when you boot up and its speed will amaze you. For instance, I downloaded the new Netscape 7.6, and it took 2 minutes to download. The only problem I had was that it worked fine for 3 days and the fourth morning Road Runner wouldn’t boot up. It took a long time to get through to someone at Warner, but when I finally did, they fixed the problem from their side and it’s been going great ever since. If you get the free offer, I suggest you take it. The cost is $39 a month, but when you figure the cost of a second phone line and an ISP, it really isn’t too much. There’s no contract to sign.

Versatile tool is changing the face of publishing as we know it.
Adobe Acrobat is more than just another software program. It didn't arrive with the instant impact of its ancestor, Adobe's PostScript, but it bids fair to make equally important changes in publishing as we know it.For user groups and other non-profit or educational organization, Adobe Acrobat(tm) is a tool that has special implications, not to mention benefits.
How can I claim that Acrobat may be more important than PostScript, you ask? Didn't PostScript help create a revolution in publishing back in the mid-1980s? Certainly!
PostScript, combined with PageMaker from Aldous and the Apple LaserWriter printer created what John Warner of Aldous named "desktop publishing." Then Ventura Publisher came along and extended the new technology
to PCs.We're in a new era, however, with the Internet and World Wide Web, plus hardware and software more capable than anything we dreamed of 15 years ago. And Adobe Acrobat, especially the current 4.0X versions, fits right into this new era. It's a unique publishing tool, more versatile than anything we've known in the past. Consider these points.
1. You can use Acrobat to publish a document from virtually any application in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.2. Acrobat is a true cross-platform application; its PDF files can be created and read on both PC and Mac computers.
3. PDF files preserve the fonts, formatting, colors and graphics of the original source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it.
4. Conversion of document files to PDF can be a simple drag-and-drop operation, but there are several other ways Acrobat can create PDF files, especially from within Window Office applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The default installation in Windows includes macros that allow quick, easy creation of PDF files
5. You don't have to be a publishing genius or understand how the program works to use it effectively for such chores as converting a PageMaker newsletter or Word document to PDF for distribution via e-mail. You do have to spend more time to learn the more sophisticated features that Acrobat also offers.
6. Acrobat captures Web pages or entire sites and converts them to PDF files for convenient offline viewing and printing.
And that's just for starters. For more detailed information than I could possibly include here, including FAQs, User Forums and tutorials, go to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/main.html.What I'd like to stress here is the important role Adobe Acrobat can play in the distribution of information by user groups and other educational or not-for-profit organization that publish newsletters and journals.
For at least four years I've been arguing that distributing hardcopy newsletters via the U.S. Postal Service may not be the best choice for user groups. It's expensive, vying with meeting place rental as the major item in most groups' budgets. It's slow, especially if newsletters go out as third class mail. It also places major restrictions on editors.
I know, I know! Members resist receiving their newsletters via e-mail.
"I want to get the news printed on paper so I can sit and enjoy it with a cup of coffee. I don't want to read it on a computer monitor!" Those are the comments I hear all too frequently.
But think about it for a minute. The newsletter you get via snail mail is printed in plain black and white, right? And it usually contains eight or 12 pages; more must be added in multiples of at least two pages, usually four.
Downloading a typical PDF newsletter takes only a few minutes, printing it just a few minutes more. And how many user group members don't have a color printer these days? Not many, so editors can add color to their pages, something too expensive even to consider for printed newsletters.
Acrobat eliminates page constraints, too. Editors don't have to worry about filling an extra page when they have only seven pages of material, or to trim a page when they can easily fill nine pages. There is no need to do the laborious task of collating, folding and/or stapling and sticking on stamps.
Deadlines become more elastic and more up-to-date news included. Once the newsletter has been thoroughly proofread, corrected and converted to a PDF file, it's ready to go out via e-mail without delay.
Many groups, recognizing the economic and other benefits of PDF, now use Acrobat to publish at least a portion of their newsletter each month. When I first started the Ken's Korner column three years ago, receiving a PDF newsletter was a rarity. Now I get two or three dozen each month.
What I recommend in my Media Workshops is that groups set up pilot programs and start using Acrobat to create PDF newsletters for a portion of their subscription list (e.g. vendors, advertisers, exchange copies for other groups and members who volunteer to forego printed copies) as a pilot program. The list can be expanded as more people, particularly new members, agree to receive their newsletters in electronic form.
I realize this isn't your typical software application review -- and it isn't meant to be! It's meant to be a thought-starter for groups (and individuals) who are willing to consider a new, effective and efficient means of publishing documents in the new millennium.
At $249 for the full version of 4.0 ($99 for update version), Adobe Acrobat may be pricey for the casual, occasional user but it makes sense for anyone who produces a lot of documents and needs to distribute them widely via e-mail or on CDs. It also makes a great dollars and cents value for any group.
I welcome comments about their experiences from groups and individuals that use Acrobat -- and from those who find fault with my reasoning and suggestions. If response warrants, I will print replies in a future column.

PC SIG
The September 6th, 2000
PC SIG was held at the SuperAmerica on 60th and Layton with 13 members present. Marie Bellin demonstrated how to work with the Calendar Creator program while fielding questions from the group.Question: How do you manage drop downs (overflows) in the calendar when too many entries are in one date square? Can the extra entries be typed in the blank spaces on the side and bottom?
Answer: Marie said you need to edit the number of entries or decrease the font size. You can use "Layout options, overflow, click options specific to your needs". The program does not allow typing entries in the side and bottom spaces.
Question: How can phone numbers and addresses be put in the calendar book?
Answer: The program does not allow for this information. Marie suggested to print extra sheets the size of the calendar using a word processor and printing the information to size.
Question: How can you get already entered events to continue into the next year's calendar?
Answer: Go to Edit, Preferences, set for the date you want the calendar to end. This will set the default to that year. The event also has to have a repeat rule in order to go into the next years.
Question: How to take out events no longer used?
Answer: Go to Events list, delete entries. You can also delete all events before a specific date by entering a date in the delete all entries before ...box and check OK.
Discussion of ways to cut paper: Staple pages together and then cut with an X-acto knife and a metal ruler. Office Depot allows customers to use their paper cutters.
Also, Marie demonstrated how to add events to the calendar. For birthdays, enter name, birthday and year of birth. The program will automatically tell how old the person is on this date. She demonstrated how to set the number of years your calendar will schedule for and how to set the time frame of the printed calendar. You can start calendars with any month and/or year and print any length of calendar (i.e.: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years.)
Marie demonstrated how to repeat monthly events, how to use a variety of fonts (using different fonts and styles for different events) and how to modify and change color and alignment of entries. We found that a light background on graphics allowed printed material to type over the top of the graphic. The event list allowed us to see all events included on the calendar. By using the tool bar we could add or modify events, find events; put a note on the calendar in a specific date. It allows you to change calendar views, the event list, how to show the calendar and event list together, how to zoom in and out and what to do with overflow material.
A cover page for the calendar was done in Print Artist or any publishing program and then imported to Calendar Creator. The layout we used for a checkbook size calendar was a calendar on both pages The print screen allowed us to set the starting month/date.
Terry Harvey offered a second demo on how to use ACDSee. This is a graphics viewer, latest version 3.0 and 3.1 and allows one to change many graphics file types to JPEG, BMP and GIF files. This program can be used to see the graphics on the disks-of-the-month. The sequence is to open the ACDSee program and then to put a graphic disk in the drive. When a file is in BMP, you can fine-tune the graphic before changing it to a JPEG. The JPEG is a smaller file and wouldn't take as much memory to work. Doris Regner then demonstrated changing the background by using Selection, Magic Wand, edit and cut. We all left the meeting with our heads spinning from so much information.
Thought for the day: It is a written fact that the human brain usually retains 10% of what is presented so.. If we repeat this information 9 more times we just might get it right.

Multi-Format SIG
The September 14th Multi-Format SIG was held at Corporate Technologies with 9 members present. The meeting started with the following discussions:
1. Adobe Photo vs Adobe Acrobat Reader - Adobe Acrobat Reader, reads documents having a .PDF extention, often government forms and e-mail readers. Adobe Photo helps you fine tune photos.The main focus of the meeting was to evaluate the Print Artist 8 and Print Artist Publisher programs and compare them with the Print Artist 4 programs. Terry Harvey used the card making feature to try the programs.2. Call Wave - Lets you know when you are getting a telephone call when you are on the internet. You have to put a call feature on your telephone number, usually costing 75 cents/month.
3. During a storm, you need to unplug your computer from the wall and your telephone cord that uses the Internet from the wall.
4. When making Halloween bags for Trick or Treat, be sure to iron the paper bags before putting them through your printer. Brown paper bags can be used as well as the white ones.
The project selection page on Print Artist 8 was a different looking format that Print Artist 4.
The program used black and dark backgrounds a lot and these tend to ripple when printed - uses lots of ink. The ready-made cards seemed "pathetic". "Hideous color combinations” and “shallow and repetitive verses" were typical comments. The colors and graphics were "gaudy and didn't seem to fit the occasions." "Most cards are ugly."
We found better verses in the Spiritual Section. This area seemed to be adding shapes and colors to fill up the card but they seemed to have little connection to the meanings of the cards. We picked a ready-made card and made changes to the background using custom color options. We "outlined" the font and changed the font style, and used "Text" to change the verse. Again, the group used the words "sarcastic, unusable and worthless" to describe the majority of verses we previewed. Another comment was "Is Print Artist in cahoots with ink companies?".
Our final statement, as a group, was "This program seems to have been changed just for the sake of change." The majority of the group seemed to prefer Version 4. The two people who had no preference were those who only owned the 8 version and were using it to create their projects from scratch - not using the ready-made samples.

Alphabetize Your Start Menu
Windows 98Keep things in order and sort your Start menu alphabetically. To do so, right-click any item in your Start menu and select "Sort by Name" from the pop-up menu. This will place items alphabetically within your Start menu. However, when new items are added they won't necessarily appear in alphabetical order.
To ensure that all folders appearing in your Start menu will remain alphabetical, you must first access the Registry Editor by typing REGEDIT in the Start menu's Run command. Once in the Registry Editor, access the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder directory. Click the StartMenu\Menu subdirectory and delete the Order key which appears in the right-hand pane of the Registry Editor. Restart Windows to effect the change.
Warning: Tweaking the Registry is risky; you're taking your system into your own hands. To be safe, manually back up the Registry before you make any changes.
Microsoft Windows Tip of the Day
Apple II/IIGS SIG
The September 7th SIG at the Day Care Center was attended by Tony Reale, Lorraine, Elaine and Richard Schmit, Dick Reinhard, Richard Durand, Jim Gustavson, Sr. Samuel and Pat Nye.Sr. Samuel had obtained a scanner which she wanted to test on her IIGS. After some trial and error, we were successful in printing the test picture. It was a rather slow process compared to today's scanner, but it was interesting just the same to see what we can do with our Apple Computers. One other thing we learned was that it DOES pay to read directions. We might have saved time by going over the directions first; but even we Apple users tend to read the directions only after all else fails.
We also reviewed some game disks which Jim brought to the SIG, and some of us found them to be fun and are looking forward to playing them ourselves.Richard Durand reviewed some IIE disks he had taken as a door prize at the general meeting, while Jim and Tony, along with Sr. Samuel, were setting up the scanner.
