The topic will be Members' Favourites and the speakers will be - you! Well, the speakers will be you - if you offer to provide a brief presentation on a computer-related topic of your choice. Anything goes. In the past, members have outlined the features in a particular computer program, waxed lyrical over an awesome piece of hardware, or have described the twists and turns of a useful tweak to an operating system. What would you like to share with the group? Send a brief description of your topic to SuggestionBox@opcug.ca and we will reserve your presentation slot on September 14th. 00:06:22 Chris Taylor: @Alan - we have also covered services in Members' Favourites.

I hvae plugged the damn thing into my wife's usb port and make her do all the printing :) 00:42:32 John Fleming: HP InkJet printer would not print pdf from Avery label app. but would print Word doc. Turned out I needed to load Adobe Acrobat DC reader as the Edge pdf printer was the problem it seems. 00:44:01 Edward Morawski: I turn off wireless printing and have never had issues. Just plug in the printer to the router (via network cable) and let the PC install program discover it. 00:44:24 John Fleming: Will do. Thanks. I recalled your earlier warning about Acrobat. 00:44:36 Tom Trottier: WSumatra is a good PDF viewer open source 00:44:53 John Fleming: Thanks Tom. 00:45:38 Tom Trottier: Sumatra 00:47:50 Tom Trottier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumatra_PDF 00:48:01 Alan German: AnotherView of PDF Files https://opcug.ca/Reviews/PDFXchangeViewer.htm 00:48:29 Tom Trottier: limited vocal range.... 00:49:50 Chris Taylor: Reminder: All members in good standing as of March 31, 2022 have had their membership expiry date extended by one year at no charge Want to join the OPCUG? - https://opcug.ca/join-or-renew/ Want to present at Q&A?

She said that was quite flattered. 00:50:36 Tom Trottier: lame = Lame is not A Media Encoder 00:54:21 Tom Trottier: iTune songs are not sold. They are licensed. Die, and the license expires, like you. 00:59:22 Tom Trottier: splitting heirs? 00:59:28 Gail: Thank you, Bob. 00:59:50 Tom Trottier: you can buy & sell media 01:00:01 Tom Trottier: & leave to your splitting heirs 01:01:10 Timothy: Music not backed up will die with a computer. 01:03:32 Tom Trottier: Thanks, Bob 01:04:15 Allison: If you buy a song on iTunes you can log into your account on any device and download it (I believe you can authorize up to 5 devices per account). 01:06:04 Alan German: Libby is defunct for a PC; OverDrive is going to be similarly discontinued. What software will read eBooks from OPL (library)? 01:07:32 Darlene: I wasn't sure I was going to attend tonight, and I do have a "new" item - yesterday I was going to buy a USB and it was a "C" type - I was told this works on devices 2-3 years old. Does this mean the older USBs I have around the house will become obsolete? I didn't buy that USB, since my laptop is older than that. 01:07:35 Tom Trottier: Calibre 01:07:45 Allison: I still use OverDrive but the last book I got from OPL is on Cloud Library. I'm not sure if that is going to replace OverDrive or if it is just another app they are using. 01:08:24 Tom Trottier: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/drm.html 01:08:28 Allison: I think cloudLibrary is for the "express" ebook collection. 01:08:57 Tom Trottier: Calibre is open source and free, but has a quirky interface 01:09:14 Tristan: Kobo readers will work for the library books. Anything that supports Epub format. 01:09:34 Tristan: Here is a link to their official supported list https://help.overdrive.com/en-us/9990.html 01:09:48 Tristan: https://biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/ebooks 01:09:52 Natalie: OPL Infoservice (for any OPL information): Phone: 613-580-2424 Online support ticket for OPL patrons: https://biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/node/add/support-ticket 01:10:03 Allison: I use BookBub, too. It's great. 01:10:19 Tom Trottier: https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/drm-free 01:10:46 Tom Trottier: https://epubor.com/how-to-find-drm-free-ebooks-to-read-on-any-devices-without-limitation.html 01:16:09 Natalie: Aside from the speed from external HD, I like one with its own power source (has an electric plug). 01:17:09 Darlene: Good information, thank you. 01:17:17 Eldon Gaw: This is off topic but since cables have been mentioned, can anyone suggest a good make/type of charging/down/uploading cables for our TCL phones? I seem to go thru mine in a matter of two or three months.. looking for something that is going to outlast the junk I have been using. 01:18:26 Natalie: Thanks!
