The Deals Guy by Bob (The Cheapskate) Click, Greater Orlando Computer Users Group
This column is written to make user group members aware of special offers or freebies I have found or arranged, and my comments should not be interpreted to encourage, or discourage, the purchase of any products, no matter how enthused I might sound.
Articles of interest:
The September issue of Ron Klair's column about NASA
space activities is
here.
Ron is a retired NASA
engineer and his monthly columns are very interesting.
I posted some new vendor
announcements on my vendor announcements page. 11/2/10.
To read Lou Vitale's final
letter to the members of Macon PC User Group,

For those of you who are
looking for my article about how trade shows are created, it's finished,
but it is lengthy.
click here and you'll find it.
I also have a temporary
announcement from LapLink for a discount on a new product for a short
time on my Announcements page, Not the New announcements page.
Wonderful oceanfront
Realestate opportunity: We
have decided to sell our favorate hangout on the beach. We will shed a
tear doing that, but we are seldom able to use it any more and it is
time for us to give it up.
Click here to see a description of it along with pictures.
Maintaining two homes on a pension is getting tougher.
The pages for the deals
columns and their descriptions are usually updated by the first of the
month.
The O'reilly newsletter is
now updated as of 11/2/10. I posted the August 2010 newsletter. There
were pictures, but I couldn't get them on the page.
New product announcements
has been updated as of 11/2/10. They are posted on the Vendor
Announcement Page for Jan. thru Dec. 2010 pages. It is all one page and
the new announcements are dated so scroll down near the bottom of that
page. These are announcements that do not offer a discount, or that I
felt were not appropriate for the DealsGuy column. Sorry the pages are
not that fancy, but I only do this when I have some free time. I hope
you enjoy them, although I never hear from anybody who looks at them.
Attention:
I doubt my readers will be interested in these, but I have posted some
new decanter pictures on the pages with Jim Beam Decanters for sale.
I was getting no place with
this Web site project until a fellow user group member from
Central Florida Computer
Society, of which I am also a member, spent time on the phone to get
me started. Please be quick to assist fellow user group members who need
your help. Remember, we are "users helping users."
This Web site is published
with Adobe PageMill thanks to
Adobe's past support
of APCUG, and
regional groups such as
FACUG. I received it from Adobe while attending a presentation
during a Florida Assn. of Computer Users
Groups Conference several years ago. Adobe has only limmited user
group support these days.
There may be DEALS posted on the announcements page without warning
from time to time because of the time frame to include them in my
monthly column. Occasionally, an offer will only be available here.
These situations will be rare, but sometimes I find them when time is
running out and they only have a limited time span. Some of my readers
also send me info.
This site is also the home of "Greater Orlando Computer User
Group"
More information on the GOCUG page. E-mail the Dealsguy via
bobclick at bellsouth dot net.
That's it for this month. I'll have some other new product announcements on my Web site. Meet me here again next month, if your editor permits.
