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. For more
