Presentation by Rob Truman Computer Booters of Sun Lakes |
| HAVE YOUR COMPUTER QUESTIONS ANSWERED! The program planners for our First Wednesday PATACS meetings in Arlington are looking for topics that members would like to have explored or questions answered - this is your opportunity to have a say in topics addressed at this meeting. This is a smaller meeting than the Fairfax meeting, and it allows for much more interaction between members than is possible in Fairfax. And there's the post-meeting Pizza and Salad SIG, the post-meeting social at a nearby restaurant - another value-added feature of your membership! Please send your suggestions to our meeting program planners at arlmtgpgm@patacs.org. |

Both became very popular over 50 years ago. More relevantly, both are stressed by normal use. This Learn in 30 presentation will explain the surprising way that vinyl can be affected by a pickup needle during playback, and how careful use will avoid damage. On the other hand, typical frequent LP playback during college, when the presenter accumulated more than 250 LPs, can cause serious and permanent damage. You will learn about how that happens and how to avoid it. The presenter also spent 2+ years as a deejay at a college radio station. There he learned the industry-standard technique for precise startup of LPs on turntables that happens to cause severe damage as a by-product. You will find out how that technique created very loud and irksome sound in the silence before a song starts on an LP, and what that sound is called. John Krout is a frequent presenter at our meetings on a wide range of computer, technology and photography topics, and author of many articles for the PATACS Posts newsletter. |

OPCUG Members Welcome! 4th Wednesday, October 25th, 7 PM Zoom Details Will be Sent by Email 5711 S. 4th Street, Arlington, VA 22204 Extended Q&A Troubleshooting Do all your electronics, gadgets, computers, phones, tablets, TV sets, networks, earbuds, and software apps/applications work perfectly? Do you never encounter glitches, freezes, failures? Are you always certain what brand and model product to buy? If so, we'd like to hear about your magic touch. But if you're like the rest of us, none of that is true for you. And so PATACS' first Wednesday meetings may be just the resource you need for a happier technology life. Just as most PATACS meetings begin with a Q&A session, so does this meeting. But then the meeting continues for nothing but Q&A -- meaning that it's possible to have detailed and in-depth discussions, including real-time research and demonstrations. Same as all PATACS meetings, these sessions are free and open to the public. So join in, share your questions, problems, and pain -- and perhaps receive answers, solutions, and relief. |
