1) Computer Chat Goes Silent

Roger Clark has taken a new job that will require extensive travel, and so we bring Computer Chat to an end.  We've had a lot of fun doing the show.  We not only learned a lot, but we like to think that we shared a lot of interesting info with our listeners, and we also generated a lot of new members for TBCS.

Roger and I will both miss doing the show, but we are also glad to have our Sundays free again to share with our families.  Most importantly, we want to thank all the TBCS members that have supported the show over the last year.

2) Guest Speaker at Internet Development SIG

Our friend, Charles Oppermann is in town and ready to enlighten us with excellent info from a Microsoft insider.  Charles was a Program Manager at Microsoft for both Windows and Internet Explorer.

He'll be our guest speaker Tuesday night at Mark Hammock's Internet Development SIG.  Charles will be showing some of the interesting visual effects that can be accomplished on a web page by using JavaScript.

Those who have attended Charles' seminars in the past know that he not only presents good, useful information, but that he does it in a relaxed atmosphere that is both stimulating and entertaining.

4) TBCS Past President, Tom Kiehl, Mentioned in Newspaper

About a month ago, I was warned by Tom Kiehl that someone was hijacking eBay accounts.  I published his warning in the 3/2/03 Bulletin: http://tampa-bay.org/boardbiz/bulletin/2003/0302.htm

Tom also sent a warning to our friend, Dave Gussow, at the St. Pete Times.  Dave wrote about the eBay hijackings this past week, and mentioned Tom's name in the process.  If you are interested in reading the complete article online, please head over to:
