You are invited to the next meeting of the Washington Area Computer
(WAC) User Group, scheduled on Saturday, May 14th from 12:30 PM to
3:30 PM at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), 4210 Roberts
Road, Fairfax, Virginia. The meeting is free and open to the public.
Preregistration is not required to attend.

As is true of most good software, the free Firefox Web browser and
Thunderbird email client work well installed with their default
options. And they're very capable supported alternatives to other
browser/email choices. But like most complex tools, a bit of learning
and tweaking greatly improves their productivity and ease of use. At
the May meeting, WAC member Gabe Goldberg's presentation tours both
applications' flexible configuration options and describes extensive
libraries of add-ins for both that extend and enhance performance,
user interface, function, and capabilities. Learn how to make these
essential programs look and behave the way you want them to, and
discover enhanced features you'll love.

Also during the May meeting, WAC members Paul Howard and Bill Walsh
will demonstrate how to use free Skype software to video chat between
PCs over a network.

WAC is a non-profit general interest computer user group that supports
the Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux operating systems. For more
