If a picture is worth a thousand words, unlimited pictures (photos these days) must be worth unlimited words. As requested and alluded to (grammar?), our main topic will be Google Photos. It has a lot to offer, especially for finding those ones of interest in the myriad of photos many people have these days… and the price is right!

Besides that, there are some new Andorid apps for better sharing, listening to podcasts, and examining the world around us.

And would you believe there is an up and coming video site that is challenging the current behemoth?

All this, more news and the funnies…

Important Note:  For May only, the Beginners SIG will meet on the 4th Saturday, May 26th at the usual time and place. In June and thereafter we’ll be back to our usual 2nd Saturday.

May 26th 2018: Spreadsheets for Calculations: MSO Excel Spreadsheets make working with numbers as easy as word processors work with words. Spreadsheets are the easiest and fastest way to tally up income tax deductibles, analyze mortgages and create financial statements, small mailing lists, bids, invoices, graphs and more. The spreadsheet is the famed “killer app” that, back in the 1980’s, turned obscure “hobby” computers into ubiquitous “personal” computers and made the PC a must-have for most everybody. Come to this meeting and find out why spreadsheets are so useful and what you’ve been missing. We’ll also introduce you to free spreadsheets like Open/Libre Office and Google Sheets.

Please note:  We’re back to our usual locations, but a week earlier than usual so as to avoid Memorial Day weekend.

A few of the recently announced changes to gmail were not active when we last met, but they are now, so we’ll check ‘em out.

At least on Android, you can now listen to podcasts without a podcast client app!  Whaaaat?

Speaking of “whaaat”, wait till you see what they want us to put on our cars!

And the latest Gboard has a bunch of tricks up its sleeve!
