[Novak, Louis (L.M.)]

Hey Folks,

Anyone have any experience or recommendations on a local data
recovery service for a failed drive?

more (or less) 'lack of backup admonishments' > /dev/null

Thanks in advance,

Subject: [mdlug] Minutes of Saturday March 8 MDLUG meeting

MDLUGers:

The March 2008 meeting of MDLUG was held at The Gaudior Academy in
Inkster this afternoon Saturday 3/8. The doors opened shortly after
12:00pm, and the meeting came to "order" just before 1:00, with
President Raymond McLaughlin presiding.

A total of 10 people signed the sign-in sheet, but there were three rows
of tables, and at least 5 people per row, so actual attendance was at
least 15. Several people came in during the presentation.

This month's meeting featured a presentation on digital photography by
Bill Buchanan. Mr. Buchanan  <http://www.thepixelmeister.com/> is
president of of Detroit's Photographic Guild
<http://www.thephotoguild.org/home.htm>, as well as Chairman of the
Guild's Electronic Imaging Division. His presentation, was well received
by the group, with many questions and at least as many answers.

The Power Point version of this presentation will be posted to our web
site when it becomes available. It was largely similar to the
presentation, "Making Pictures as Opposed to Taking Pictures", that  Mr.
Buchanan gave to the January meeting of SEMCO (South East Michigan
Computer Organization). SEMCO provides a podcast of this meeting here:
<http://www.semco.org/Data/SP0801a.mp3>. Mr Buchanan's presentation
starts 44:10 into the 1:50:40 podcast, (a ~20MB file).

Other business discussed at the meeting: Garry announced that four of
the five remaining members of DCG (Downriver Computer Group, nee
Downriver Commodore Group) were in attendance, and that they had agreed
to consider their group to also be in meeting. He also announced that
DCG had revoked their dues requirements for membership, and invited all
present to join. This is part of their effort to keep their organization
running, membered, and preserve their 501(c) educational organizational
status. Additionally they have requested that an MDLUG-retro mailing
list be added to the club server. Server Admin. Raymond McLaughlin said
he would see to this in the coming month.

There was some discussion of future officer's meetings, to be discussed
among the officers and appointees.

As club Secretary Mary Tomich was not present these minutes were
prepared by the President.

Reporting
Raymond McLaughlin
President MDLUG
