TCS - General Meeting

General Meeting

by Don Singleton
Tulsa Computer Society
From the March 2004 issue of the I/O Port Newsletter

The TCS meeting of February 24th began with an examination of old copies of the IO Port. Don Greer bought in the booklets from the 1980s that contained membership lists and bulletin board phone numbers and baud rates. Don said he was a charter member of the club, present at the first meeting. The General Meeting was held on the last Tuesday of the month, but the meeting place was at the Vo-tech Center on Memorial Dr.

One club member had a spyware question. The group talked about what spyware is and anti-spyware programs such as Adaware, Spybot Search and Destroy and Webroot Spy Sweeper.

Another member asked about editing the registry. The group discussed editing the registry with Regedit and cleaning the registry with jv16 Power Tools, Norton Systemworks and MS RegClean.

The club members talked about converting cassette tapes to digital music files. The members discussed music file formats and the differences in size of the files. Richard Hall talked about a number of editing and conversion programs such as MS Plus, Roxio Spin Doctor in CD Creator, and Music Match Jukebox. Jon Hazard talked about three programs that he had used including two commercial programs and a freeware editor.

The discussion was still ongoing at the end of the meeting at 8:30, so the club agreed to continue the music discussion at the March meeting.
