It was particularly appropriate that we did this at that particular meeting, because Edna Smithline told me she had a new great granddaughter Sara Elizabeth who was born on May 7 at St Francis, and she wanted to tell me her photo was on the Internet.
This was a tremendous coincidence, because about an hour from then we expected the June I/O Ports to be delivered to my house, and I had a story on page 10 about the St Francis Internet Nursery (http://www.saintfrancis.com/nursery/listbabies.cgi) so since we had the phone line connected, we logged on to the internet and first went to the TCS web page where I gave the audience a preview of the article (http://www.tcs.org/ioport/nursery.htm) they would see in about an hour, after I went home to pick up the papers, and then we clicked on the Internet Nursery graphic and hopped over to the St Francis web site to take a look at Sara Elizabeth, born May 7 at 5:35 pm, weighing 8 lbs 8 oz., daughter of Becca and Todd. I captured the graphic image by placing my mouse cursor on the photograph and clicking the right button, and then selecting Save As, and designating a particular folder (drive and directory). Later that evening we made further use of that graphic; see the article on the Word Processing Sig Report for further details.
Bruce arrived around 10:30, and one of the questions directed to him related to how to install the Microsoft Power Toys he had talked about at recent Windows meeting, and which we had run an article on in the May issue (http://www.tcs.org/ioport/power.htm). We had downloaded, but not installed, the Power Toys at the April 12 Internet Sig Meeting (http://www.tcs.org/ioport/int0697.htm), so with Bruce's help we installed them at the Daytimers meeting, and he walked us through several of the new features they provided.
11:00 rolled around and I had to go home to pick up the June I/O Ports, so Docia took over the keyboard and she and Bruce kept the meeting going. I don't know everything that went on while I was gone, but when I got back she and Bruce were using the Microsoft 95 Hyper Terminal to access the Tulsa City/County Library computer like members can do when they are at home.
