Melbourne PC User Group Monthly Meeting Wednesday 3rd March 2010 at 7:00 pm at
Melbourne PC User Group Headquarters, Level 2, Chadstone Place, Chadstone.

How's the weather in Utah?
For this month's speaker we've gone far afield - to Utah - and he'll be talking to us from there, in person. Our meeting will be a webinar, that is a seminar over the Web. The speaker is well-known and respected IT guru Gene Barlow who will talk us through one of the world's most popular backup tools, Acronis True Image. Here's your chance to find backup software you can trust. And have a live discussion with the man from Salt Lake City.

How to search like the FBI
ISYS is one of the world's most widely-used document search programs and it's made in Australia. If you haven't heard of it that's because you're not with the FBI or US Department of Justice; Deloitte's, Chase, Ernst & Young, or London's Metropolitan Police. In fact for many of the world's leading corporates it's the search engine of choice.

ISYS haven't given a lot of attention to domestic products. But now that has changed and they have launched an application that is magic. On your own computer and home LAN it will ferret out the most obscure documents in the blink of an eye. Word processing, spreadsheets, emails - those of us who have used ISYS know there's nothing better. Well now here's a chance for the home computerist to put this amazing program on their home machine. This will be one of the first times it has been seen in Australia. 　

Random Access
And of course, most importantly - here to answer the tricky, maddening things that can go wrong with your computer - the man with the Sonic Screwdriver, Barry Martin. He'll be here to answer your questions in the Random Access segment.

As always brilliant Prizes given away every night in our raffle.
