From the President

Minutes

At 19:39 the meeting was called to order by F. Miller, pres.

The May minutes were accepted.

S. Tryc said that the treasury held $1004.14, and that there was a mistake in the newsletter, which the editor acknowledged. The report was accepted, subject to audit.

Eight members were present, R. Ballogg absent.

L. Miller was absent, out of town at a funeral. (He had spoken of making security the June topic.)

Pres. asked whether there were any discoveries—treasurer Tryc said that the bank after all these years made the club s account commercial, with a change of check and all that. J. Mack suggested that laws had changed.

J. Mack asked about his webbrowser s hanging on Yahoo e-mail after his machine for a while was up; Halász suggested means of killing the webbrowser and leaving the machine up.

There was no old bizness.

As for new bizness, pres Miller asked whether anyone was interested in buying a used HP printer: for a rummage sale three had been donated his church.

At 19:57 the meeting was adjourned, and T. Tenney spoke of getting a Vista machine, how and for how much, and why.

Respectfully submitted by Sándor Halász, secretary.
