Dinner tonight was Portugese-style New York Steak by Manny and his family. Tender and tasty - you should have been there. After dinner several groups met to discuss their favorite GMC topics like fuel injection, quad-bag suspensions, etc. Very informative and fun.<\/p>\n

New Computing
\nby Gene Fisher<\/h3>\n
\u00a0Pods, Pads, Phones, Tablets<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is inevitable that we will have one of these!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A discussion on what these things do (or don\u2019t do) for you.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
i-Pad demonstration on Melissa\u2019s i-Pad.\u00a0 You can do things on the I-Pad that you cannot do with a regular computer (PC, laptop or desktop).\u00a0 i-Pod is a mini version of the I-Pad.\u00a0 Everything you can do on your PC you can do on your I-Pad.\u00a0 However, I-Pads are difficult to type on.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Gene likes the i-Pad for all the thousands of applications available to choose. Speedtest X app allows you to take pictures of whatever picture you have on your screen.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Virgin Mobile $40 \u2013 buy 10 days for $10.\u00a0 Unlimited data for $50 a month.\u00a0 It\u2019s a cellphone\/internet device.\u00a0 No contracts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
i-Pad is great for getting online magazine subcriptions.\u00a0 MagicJack is an app that allows you to use VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) for local and long distance calling through the I-Pad.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bluetooth ear phone.\u00a0 Blue ant ear phone. $30.\u00a0 Not for cellphones.\u00a0 A2-DP Bluetooth will work with your phone, computer and listen to music.\u00a0 Make sure you can return it if it doesn\u2019t work with your particular applications.<\/div>\n

by Armand Minnie<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Armand delivered a very informative talk and visuals from his computer on accessing GMCWS.org<\/a>:\u00a0\u00a0 signing on, checking and updating your personal information, and moving around the website in general.\u00a0 Newsletters are listed in PDF form for the latest newsletter as well as archived.<\/div>\n

(the Birchhaven was named after him).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Greg gave us a wonderful, warm history of the Birch family and how this family of \u201ctinkerers\u201d were entwined with GM and the GMC Motorhome.<\/div>\n
ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/td>\nManny conducted a little wine tasting contest to see what people thought of a variety of wines from some \"two-buck-chuck\" to a home-made wine by a member.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ngg_shortcode_2_placeholder<\/td>\nEach evening volunteers served dinner to \"VIPs\" - people who had contributed to the rally by conducting seminars or other significant contributions. Each evening the servers were dressed in 'formal' wear provided by Manny.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
