utilities for the August meeting. Jamie Yates offered “Roboform,” which
automatically fills in forms, and Marc Cohen offered “Time Clock,” a
program which can determine date, time of day, phase of the moon, etc.,
for any region of the earth. Further solicitation of possible program
subjects are to be solicited from the membership. In addition, the

A brief reminder of the upcoming Trenton Computer Fair was made,
