"Netbook" PCs

This month Glady Campion, Jim March, and Ken Phelps will be putting various models of their new Asus Eee PCs through their paces. In case you're not familiar with the product, it's Asus' latest entry in what's now commonly referred to as a "Netbook" PC. These small PCs, usually with 7" to 10" screens, boast either regular hard drives or Solid State Hard Drives (SSD), cameras, Intel® AtomTM processors, and other goodies, as well as boasting a 5 to 7 hour battery life. And the price? I've seen them for as little as $248.00, so no wonder they're turning up everywhere!


C's Pizza has provided us with several gift certificates for our member-only raffle at the general meeting. We will probably try to distribute these over a couple of months.

Next Month: Intel

Golden Oldies

So to celebrate, we are planning a Thirty Three and a Third party. Details are to be finalized but the plan is for a picnic, perhaps pot luck, with DMA providing the hotdogs and hamburgers. We'll be looking for folks to help with the planning committee so if you are interested, let Gary know.

Reason for Changes

DMA Trustees have been struggling to provide adequate facilities for our monthly General Membership meetings. Both UD and WSU presented challenges. We have been searching for a location that is comfortable for our members, room enough for all attendees, offers free parking, equipped with audio, visual, and internet, and still affordable for the organization. HHAF Hall meets all qualifications. Apple-Dayton meets here regularly.

April was our trial month and it went well. We have reserved the Warrior Room for the coming year.

All are welcome. The meetings start at 7:00 p.m. Guests are always welcome.
