Jan 27, 1997 is the date when our local chapter will be having a technical on the internet. At some point in time during the meeting I will be logging into the IRC room that John Musselwhite has been notifying everyone about for the last year or so. His meets every Tues evening. Mine will be occuring on a Monday evening, roughly some time around 7:30 PM PST, or 03:30 GMT 28 Jan 1997 for those of you in other parts of the planet. My technical is covering the entire internet and so the IRC visit will most likely be short. It would be nice to see some representation from around the world when we log in, but I understand that the hour is a bit forbidding for some. One can only hope! I'll most likely have an outline that I will be doing my presentation from, and if the rest of you are interested in giving such a technical for your chapter, you can have my outline. If I get enough requests, or if the pianotech-meister so bids, I shall submit the outline to the forum for all to see. Also, if any of you have done this before, or if some of you have had thoughts about doing such a presentation, I could use some ideas, or reminders of things I've overlooked. Here's a real quick overview of the evening. basics of computer operation, Dos, Windows, Mac, PC, software, shareware, freeware, downloading, installing, usage, The Internet, transfer of information, ISP's, websites and homepages starting with the PTG Website (getting much better with age) and eventually landing on my website, IRC, newsgroups and other internet activities including listservers like this one. IF any of you think I've missed anything major, I'm open for suggestions.
