moin, moin,

due to the falling of the of the month they're two days in a row this month.

The class, Wed night at 19:00, will be covering some general productivity
software for things such as syncing with a Palm Pilot or Handspring,
appointment organizer, and a couple of toys.

The meeting, Thu night at 19:00, we will have Michael covering Doug
Engelbart and the 1968 presentation that introduced things like the mouse
and hypertext linking.

"On December 9, 1968, Douglas C. Engelbart and the group of 17 researchers
working with him in the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research
Institute in Menlo Park, CA, presented a 90-minute live public demonstration
of the online system, NLS, they had been working on since 1962. The public
presentation was a session in the of the Fall Joint Computer Conference held
at the Convention Center in San Francisco, and it was attended by about
1,000 computer professionals. This was the public debut of the computer
mouse. But the mouse was only one of many innovations demonstrated that day,
including hypertext, object addressing and dynamic file linking, as well as
shared-screen collaboration  involving two persons at different sites
communicating over a network with audio and video interface."

Both are at Sequoia Charter School, 1460 S. Horne in Mesa, room 804.

The Sequoia Charter School is located just north of US 60 on the west side
of the street. There is NOT a freeway ramp at Horne, so take the Mesa or
Stapley exit north to Southern. Turn south onto Horne and look for us on the
right.

The west side meeting this month will be another class on how to use the
GNU/Linux desktop.
