All Members, Family and Friends welcome.

Bill Geraci, Novice SIG Leader will speak on the topic:
A Brief History of, and Some Thoughts about: The Future of The Interface.

Pliers? Have you ever needed to use a pair of pliers to switch programs on your computer? There was a time...when that's exactly what you needed! And do you know how the Modal Interface has allowed computer users to become real people, not specialists?

Come hear a review of the history of The Interface--how we have interacted with computers over the years. And some speculation on how we will be connected in the future....

 

Also at every meeting:

Member only Door Prizes. Each member will receive a ticket upon entering the room. Near the end of the meeting, door prizes will be given out by the number on the ticket. Some prizes will require that you write a review for Passages. Reviews are required if you accept that type of item.

Buy-Sell-Swap table will be set up for members to display hardware/software they wish to swap or sell. All items must be labeled and priced. TNWoU assumes no liabilities for items displayed. To minimize meeting disruptions, swap table activity is limited to break time and following the meeting close. No commercial sales allowed.
