The next PLUG meeting is coming up fast. In fact, it's this coming Monday.
Free computers at our September Meeting!
Well not exactly, but close. Harry will give a slide show on turning a decade-old computer that would normally be thrown out into a useable and not too shabby machine for the guest room, children, or grandparents. It works well enough to play 3D games, do some graphics work, watch movies, and the usual email and Internet browsing. It even handles OpenOffice.org Impress. For the price, it's awfully good.
Hint: The OS originally comes from Europe, and the desktop, while being quite easy and functional, is designed for low memory machines and slower processors.
Date: Monday, September 13, 2009
Time: 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Location: Applewood Manor, 1500 Lansdowne Street West, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

Applewood is located right next to the former E-LAN Games where we used to meet. It's the next building east. Parking is on the east (right) side. Entrance is at the front of the building. From the front, go down the hall to the right, and enter the last door on the left.
Admission is free.
There will be a door prize. Members get double entries.
After the meeting, everyone is invited to Tim Horton's just east of the meeting location.
