UPDATE
Gimblett Has TOG Feb Meeting in Stitches     TOG member Sandee Gimblett proved that she knows her stuff when in comes to quilting and embroidery. Not only that, she knows how to use her computer to interface with her card-programmed Pfaff sewing machine, as well as how to download patterns from the Internet. Instructions stored on a memory card are then inserted into the sewing machine and patterns sewn. With an impressive display of her sewing talents she showed examples of her work as well as her "library" of stitch patterns, on cloth swatches, to which she refers daily as she pursues her hobby. Very impressive and informative Sandee! Good presentation!	Are You a Shrinking Violet?    A presentation to another user group is described in the General Interest Section, on page 9, where a medical doctor illustrated how he used a computer. He illustrated his talk using only a Palm Pilot, to highlight medical problems and learn about medical conditions, as well as to identify some medical web sites. A brief synopsis of his presentation is included here, on page 6, to inspire those of you who have hidden talents to consider sharing your expertise or speciality with us at a future meeting--to bring your hidden talents out from under that bushel--to mix a metaphor.
