Greetings everyone:
I just wanted to let everyone know how to hook up your computer to the TV.
Your computer needs to have an “S-Video” port which is a round port that often has a video icon. There is an S-Video cable in the president’s box (which Dennis currently has). Simply attach the S-Video cable from the […]

Bradley,
I’m trying to figure out how to use all the wonderful helpful features on the website.  This morning I posted an announcement to the Forum, looking for a roofer, but it did not go out as an email to the membership.  What did I do wrong?  Help?
