You are invited to the next meeting of the Washington Area Computer User Group (WAC), scheduled on Saturday, November 22nd from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM at the Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia. The meeting is free and open to the public. Preregistration is not required to attend. At our November meeting, WAC member Bob Mason will demonstrate Microsoft’s new “Virtual Earth” on-line program and a tutorial outlining the steps needed to sell items on the eBay auction site. “Virtual Earth” is similar to “Google Earth” in displaying photographic views of most places on Earth. Like Google’s program, you can zoom down to display individual houses, streets and other landmarks and overlay the pictures on maps, naming the streets and highways. However, “Virtual Earth” uses much more recent images than does “Google Earth” and incorporates a “Birds-eye View” of selected areas simulating low altitude angled views from various directions. Use of the site is free. The demo “Selling on eBay” will include the various steps necessary to place your items up for sale or auction on the eBay site as well as a number of hints that can make your sales effective and more profitable. Bob plans to list an item for auction during the demo and will explain the rationale for each step in the process. WAC is a non-profit general interest computer user group that supports the Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux operating systems.
