First Impressions of Windows 7
At the risk of being accused of promoting Microsoft, those who are undecided about changing to Windows 7 may like to view the comments on the BBC's "Click" programme this week, you'll have to put up with an advert for BMW first.

JCC Christmas Party
We'll be having a Christmas Party at the Club House on Tuesday December 8th evening. It will be a "bring a dish to share and bring your own drink" - or "pot luck" party. Admission is free, but ticket only come to the Club to sign up and get your ticket. Tessa will let you know what type of food to bring (we want to avoid having 5000 sausage rolls). Places are limited! We'll be holding a prize draw raffle in aid of the Javea Alzheimers Day Care Centre and there will be music and entertainment courtesy of one of our multimedia PCs and the Internet!
Mobile Smart Phones and netbook Operating Systems
On Thursday November 5th, Fredrik Wengelin gave a fascinating review of the trends in mobile computing, the capabilities of new smartphones, and how the telephony companies are fighting a losing battle. See Smartphones for his presentation.
