Resources for learning more about XHTML are listed at the end.
XHTML is a markup language that provides structure and semantics to web pages. It is based on XML and is more strict than HTML. XHTML pages must have a document type definition, html and head tags, and a body where the visible content goes. Common XHTML tags include paragraphs, lists, links, images, and divisions to logically separate content. While XHTML provides structure, CSS is used to style pages and control visual presentation by defining rules for tags. CSS rules are defined in external style sheets to keep presentation separate from structure and content.

2. EAMUG President's Letter February 2009
Such a fun meeting in February. There were 67 people there and four people joined as
new members!
Mary Lou had spent over 4 hours training with iListen, and when she demonstrated it, it
didn't go as expected. There was much laughter as people watched the screen when she
spoke into the microphone and expected iListen to write her words on the computer and
on the screen. Such odd words were printing. By the time she managed to get the third
or fourth statement out, the words she spoke were appearing correctly. She was
frustrated, and assumed she needed to give her voice a rest and needed to practice some
more. Come to find out, iListen doesn't work well on Intel Macs and she could upgrade
to a newer version called Dictate (by MacSpeech). She did that, trained the application
for less than ten minutes and was surprised. What that surprise was, you will have to
come to the meeting and find out on March 5.
The rest of the meeting went as expected with good questions from the audience during
the Q & A. We like it when good answers come from the audience as well. There is
more than one way to do things on our Macs. Do remember to include the system you
use, be it Panther, Tiger or Leopard. (It might be more efficient if the questions were
emailed to Mary Lou prior to the meeting. Or hand written and left on the table at the
front of the room, even during the session.)
Dianne Roberto did a captivating presentation of her use of GarageBand.(GarageBand
comes free with your Mac, it's that Guitar icon on your dock, and is available to upgrade
with the purchase of iLife.) The projection/screen problem has been solved by changing
the resolution of the display (also known as the monitor). Let us know if you want her to
do it again. Or if there are other GarageBand players in our user group.
Did you know that periods only go inside of parentheses when the whole sentence is
within the parentheses? I keep forgetting which is which, which is why I included it here
for your enlightenment. (The 'w' words above are an example of alliteration I believe.)
Another surprise was the door prize. There was none. There will be two this month.
There are 42 people signed up for the March 19th Pizza Social and the deadline to list
yourself is at the March meeting on Thursday, March 5. There will be a signup sheet for
those who have not already mailed their replies to Dale. Why wait? Send that email now,
while you are thinking of it.
Enjoy your Macs and share with us how you use them, in case we didn't think of using
them that way. See the minutes on the back page for the March agenda. Looking forward
to seeing you again.

3. Computer Tutor,Too March 2009
by Mary Lou Dobson
In this column I try to include things that may be relevant to experienced users and
also tips for the Beginner. If you don't understand something here, please ask at the
meeting or email me about it. maryloud@mac.com
Tired of looking for the Reply button in Mail? Use Command+R. Hint: just select as
much of the original message as you want in the reply, then do the keyboard shortcut
above. If you don't select at least one character, the whole message will appear in the
Reply. I just select one and then delete it in the Reply unless I want to include more.
I noticed that in three instances, people must have hit Reply All in error because I got
emails from people I didn't know who were included on someone else's email list. Reply
All means reply to all those who were included in the addressees.
Speaking of that, there is a place in the
email message where you can list people's
addresses so that they don't show up on
each individual's email. It is BCC. If it
doesn't appear on your new message you
may find it in one of the Menus, or see the
pictures accompanying this column. Find
out more about Bcc by opening Mail help
and typing 'bcc' in the blank. When I send
the EAMUG emails to the entire group of
over 130, I know you don't want to scroll
through all those names. I usually put EAMUG
in the To: but it is not necessary to put anything
there if you use bcc. (Bcc is spelled differently
in various email programs.)
The delete key, also known as backspace, will delete characters to the left.
Shift+delete will erase things to the right.
When typing user IDs or Usernames, it is usually to use Upper Case. For
passwords we must use the case that we create our passwords in.
I spelled unnecessary incorrectly in the previous paragraph (it came up underlined with
red dots). I right-clicked (ctrl-clicked) on it and the correct spelling appeared at the top
4. to the contextual menu. I left-clicked on the correct spelling and it replaced the error. If
it were a proper name that was underlined, I could right-click and then click on Ignore
Spelling.
If you are using an application that underlines in green as well, it indicates a grammar
error.
I put 'CorelDraw Tutorial' in Google Search and found many, some free. If you click on
Help when in CorelDraw, it may list Tutorial. There's lots of other help on the Internet as
well.
Mike Volpe has a small program called,
VideoBox2.7.4, cost around 8 bucks. He drags the
URL to the program pane and clicks a couple of places and it
downloads the video right to his Desktop. He saves a lot of funny
things and sends them to friends and family. Currently it only
downloads from YouTube.
When Carolyn Rosenfeld's sick flash drive was unrecognized by her
Mac, I tried it in mine and it wasn't recognized either, and
unrepairable. I had a sudden idea, stuck it into my Toshiba laptop
(which I keep on hand so I can help my Vista clients), it opened
because it was formatted for Windows in the first place. I copied all 10
pictures from it to a folder on the desktop of my Toshiba, reformatted
the flash drive, again for Windows, put back the 10 pictures, inserted
the flash drive into my MacBook Pro, and it was all better. (Leaving it
formatted for Windows it can be used on either a PC or a Mac. If
formatted for Mac, Windows cannot read it.
I'll have to look up on the Internet just when to use italics. I think I used them too many
times in the last paragraph. In the old days of manual typewriters, names of books, etc.,
had to be underlined. Now underlining is rarely used as it usually indicates hyperlinks to
click on to go to somewhere else on the 'net.
If one of your email buddies asks you to take them off your list for Forwards, etc., please
respect their wishes. One man's treasure may be another man's trash. I have friends who
get maybe 50 emails a day, and not one of them is a personal note. Many people delete
forwards without reading them, so why waste your energy sending them. It is easier to
take them off your list than it is to put them on in the first place. If you don't know how,
ask me.
If trouble deleting one email, use the Apple key to choose more than one and delete
therm together. Choose non-troublemaking one first.
5. Empty the Trash in your email program quickly by right-clicking or control-
clicking on the Trash folder. A Folder is a file that can contain one or more
files.
http://www.macspeech.com/pages.php?pID=130&ref=20030 lists hyperlinks to good
videos.
Buying a new computer is not the only way to have a better experience with your iMac.
Go to http://www.macworld.com/article/2496/2001/10/howtoimac.html Remember too,
that if your Mac does what you want it to, you do not have upgrade. The same goes for
any application that you use. That grass that is not in our yard is not always greener, it
only looks that way from here.
Time is a non-renewable resource.
Preview
Here is a feature in Preview that some may not know. Open in Preview a PDF or
photo. Go to the View menu and choose Customize Toolbar. In the resulting
window find Annotate and drag it to Previews Menubar. Now you can draw
arrows, ovals, rectangles and write text on whatever you open in Preview. Great
for adding arrows to a screenshot of a map.
Will Bosch
Editors note-
Preview keeps improving with each new upgrade of the system software. This menu
does not appear in the Panther (10.3.9) version. Don't know if it works in 10.4. Check
it out.
I use Preview for about 90% of my photo editing.
If you don't have another photo editor try Seashore, a nice freeware application that
can change the size of the photo, do layers and add text. Panther(10.3) and above.
Sort of like Photoshop Elements.
If you want a more advanced photo editor try GIMP, a freeware application that has
some of the features of Photoshop.
Your Editor is still using his old Power Book and NeoOffice for this issue as my new
iMac has not yet arrived.

7. Buyer Beware
Sometimes I see a product and think it would be great, and easy to use. I always
check the box to see if it works OK on my Mac. Here are two recent purchases made
last month where the box info was misleading or incomplete.
iomega EGO HD - Several Days to use vs 10
min if the directions to use had been clear.
I read the package and hooked up the USB to my PowerBook.
It would view the drive but not allow me to save new files. I
gave up and went on line to get help from a user forum.
Info from the forum: iomega 250GB drive
What could possibly be happening here is that the drive is in
NTFS format (proprietary format for Windows) which can be seen and read from on a Mac,
but doesn't allow you to write anything to the drive. Iomega has steps available that explain
how to reformat the drive to HFS+ format, which is Mac's proprietary format.
Now the drive did not appear on my desktop. So I could do nothing! Next I went to our Mac
group meeting and tried hooking it up to other Macs. It only worked on the newest Mac.
Later I went to a friend's house and used his new Mac to Format the drive. It now works on
my Mac.
What I learned: Only a Intel Mac can use the drive until it is reformatted.
Logitech mouse 2hrs vs 10 min if the
directions to use had been clear..
The packaging for my new mouse led me to the wrong WEB
site. It would have resulted in a PC download. I would not do
that so I called the help line and was walked through getting
the right site for a mac. Thanks Logitech for a helpful service
rep.
This wasted about an hour of time and would not have been necessary if I had
known the following:
1. go to this site: http://www.logitech.com/ (not the one printed in the Quick Help that
came with the drive)
2. next click on the Get Support Now under Support Center on the lower right
side of the web page.
3. Finally enter your data for your mouse and you
should get the correct driver (Mine was a 17 MB
download)
I like the mouse and am using it, but it takes 1.4
MB of memory and 80 MB of virtual memory.
8. Bill’s Musings
by Bill Kiefer
Those of you who own a Power Book with OS10.4.5 or later can find out about the
battery along with other things about your laptop. Here’s how. Google ‘coconut battery’
and open the link ‘coconut battery’ in the results. Download version 2.6.3 and it will tell
you some interesting things about your laptop. Try it! (Thanks to Mike Volpe for the
tip.)
FREE! FREE! FREE!
How many of us have heard our more experienced friends use the term Freeware? Well,
I decided to google Freeware and boy, did I get an eyeful! If you google Freeware, in the
results go to Freeware Home and go to the panel on the left and check out all the free
stuff you can download. They’re all categorized by subject and within each subject there
are many more. If I had to guess I would say there are at least 1k items one could down
load for free or minimal cost. Return to Google and see that there are thousands more
results for free stuff you can check out.
iTunes RADIO
Here’s a refresher for you from Rob Griffiths’ Mac OS X Hints. One of the most
overlooked features in Apple’s iTunes is the Radio entry in the Library section of the
Sidebar. Here you will find streaming radio from around the world, covering everything
from music (alternative, classical, hard rock and so on) to comedy, sports, and talk radio.
You can use this feature to listen to your favorite station while you are online doing
whatever you are doing. I like that feature because if I get bored with the music, or
whatever, I can turn it off or switch to another station.
9. EAMUG Board Minutes February 20, 2009

Dale reported on the March 19 EAMUG Pizza Social at the Englewood Gardens Beach Club. We
currently have about 40 members signed up. We decided that a member may bring a spouse or
significant other without paying a fee, but will be expected to pay $5 for each additional guest. Pizzas
will be purchased from Trattoria 13 in Englewood. The Beach Club will open at 12 noon and lunch will
be served at 1. Dale will follow up on atttendees at the March 5th meeting. Mary Lou and Christina
will purchase door prizes.
It was suggested that to maintain a quieter atmosphere at the
