Hunters Run Computer Club
Where Learning is Fun  



On January 8, 2008, Bobbie Saul, our Program Director, presented an informative presentation on “E-mail and Why
AOL?”  She covered many topics including:
    1.        AOL and its simplicity for users
    2.        Mini word processor used in Emails
    3.        Headers, and copy and paste to avoid them.
    4.        Blind Copies
    5.        Different fonts and sizes
    6.        Favorite places, and the savings of same for future use.
    7.        Custom settings
    8.        Instant Messages, Addresses and E-mail names



Bobbie is an AOL fan and highly recommends it.  It is free.  AOL charges $7.95 per month for technical support, but
they usually recommend reinstalling the program which the user can do without paying for tech support.

Coffee, cookies, and conversations took place after the meeting, and Bobbie stayed to answer questions on a one-
to-one basis.



Marilyn Ross, Co-chairman, demonstrated how to place the club’s website icon on your desktop (the screen that
comes up when you start your computer.)  Icons may represent a file, folder, application or device.  The icon can
represent anything that the users want it to and are distinct from each other, self explanatory, and easily visible.  To
place the Icon on your desktop:        
    1.        Launch Internet Explorer.  
    2.        Type hrcomputerclub.org.  (you do not need to type in www.)
    3.        Right click any where on the page.  This brings up a menu.  
    4.        Select “Create Shortcut.”  
This will place the icon on your computer.  Whenever you want to go to the web page, just click on the icon residing
on your desktop.

If you wish to add the web page to your favorites:
    1.        Launch Internet Explorer.  
    2.        Type hrcomputerclub.org.  
    3.        Right click any where on the page.  This brings up a menu.  
    4.        Select “Add to Favorites”
This will place the website in your favorite list.



Howard Essig presented a Tip using his poetry skills.  It was handed out at the meeting.

    HOW TO FIND A LOST CURSOR

           By Howard Essig with apologies to Dr. Seuss

    When you have lost your cursor
    Of which nothing can be worser
    You can get it back with great ease
    As programming for it is a breeze

    First you click on START to do this trick
    Which you will find real slick
    Then CONTROL PANEL is your selection
    If you want to go in the right direction

    Now look around in this house
    Until you find that miserable MOUSE
    Seek the POINTER OPTIONS tab
    Because that’s the one you must grab

    At the bottom, a TARGET is there
    CHECK THAT BOX if you care
    Then OK and the program is finished
    And cursor losses are diminished.

    If it does get lost press the CONTROL KEY
    And you will see your cursor immediately.

Joan Soble, Co-chairman, took pictures of the meeting, which is now located on our website on the Club Pictures
page.

We are always looking for new faces and ideas.  Bring both to our meetings.  Your dues pay for our speakers.  Six
new members joined at our meeting.  You can print out a membership application from our Web Site.
