Recent Events and Happenings at VISION COMPUTING
 

A good showing for VISION COMPUTING at the 1998 New Mexico Computer Expo.
October 25, 1998	The 1998 New Mexico Computer Expo is now in the history books. The staff at VISION COMPUTING would like to thank all the people who stopped at our exhibitor's booth or attended one of our seminars. We received many good comments on our presentations and enjoyed talking with Expo attendees who visited our booth. This is the second year VISION COMPUTING has participated in the New Mexico Computer Expo. The Expo is produced by ComputerScene Magazine and this year the event was held in the Creative Arts Center at the New Mexico State Fairgrounds in Albuquerque. At our display booth we showcased the extensively renovated VISION COMPUTING web site. The company web site is the centerpiece of our customer support, information release, and marketing efforts. We also had several drawing for free web services from VISION COMPUTING. The winners of the web site prizes are M. McCall, P. Michael, L. Goddin, and S. Palmer. VISION COMPUTING will be designing and developing web sites for each of these winners and we anticipate the sites will be on-line in the next month or two. Over the 3-day event, VISION COMPUTING owner Mark Leo-Russell presented several workshops on web site development. Slides from the seminars are available on our Seminars and Presenation web page or by using these links. Web Graphics: Basic Concepts Web Developer's Tool Kit - Software on a Budget

1998 New Mexico Computer Expo.

This year the Expo is Thursday through Saturday, October 22-24 in the Creative Arts Center at the New Mexico State Fairgrounds. Our exhibitor's booth will feature information on our services, demonstrations on image scanning and computer graphics, and drawings for free web page designs. Visit us at booth 316 to enter drawings for free web site services and ask about our "grab bags." In addition to our booth, we're also doing two seminars on graphics and software. Web Graphics: An Introduction To Concepts    Fri Oct. 23 9:30am Seminar Room 2, and    Sat Oct. 24 2:30pm Seminar Room 2 Learn the basic concepts of computer graphics with emphasis on designing and producing images for use on your web site. Topics will include graphic file formats, raster and vectors images, resolution, color depth, lossy and non-lossy compression, and graphics software packages. Web Developer's Tool Kit - Software on a Budget    Fri Oct. 23 12:30am Seminar Room 2, and    Sat Oct. 24 5:30pm Seminar Room 2 If you or your company are beginning to prepare materials for your web site you know how expensive software can be. In this workshop we will review various web development programs and compile a complete software tool kit for less than $200. Freeware, shareware, and commercial software will be examined including web browsers, page editing programs, HTML editors and validators, graphics, animation, clipart collections, fractals, and other utilities. To get to the Creative Arts Center, enter the NM State Fairgrounds at gate 4 on San Pedro and follow the signs to the Expo. There will be the usual parking fees for access to the Fairgrounds.

VISION COMPUTING releases major overhaul to its web site.
October 19, 1998	Today VISION COMPUTING rolled out its extensively upgraded web site. The site has been undergoing a major overhaul and is finally to the point it "goes live". Like most web sites, ours is a work-in-progress and you will see a few things that aren't quite finished yet. However, you will find our new design includes a refined look-and-feel, some navigation enhancements, and several new content sections. Check the What's New page for details on recent changes to our web site.

VISION COMPUTING commits to the 1998 New Mexico Computer Expo.
September 1, 1998	The decision was simple for VISION COMPUTING to return as an exhibitor and presenter at this year's New Mexico Computer Expo. The Expo, hosted by ComputerScene Magazine, is scheduled for October 22-24 at the NM State Fair Grounds in Albuquerque. After the very good reception we received from the attendees of Expo '97, deciding to return was one of our easier business decisions this year.* In addition to an exhibitor's booth on the Expo floor, we anticipate presenting several seminars on graphics and web site design. We will also have activities at our booth including demonstrations, drawings for free web site designs and "grab bags." Three major changes distinguish this year's Computer Expo from previous events. First, a change of season. The previous four Expos occurred in late summer. This year the show moves to fall. Second, a change in venue. In other years we went downtown to the Albuquerque Convention Center. This year we move up to the "heights" and the Creative Arts Center at the New Mexico Fair Grounds. Third, a change of time. Whereas other NM Computer Expos ran Friday through Sunday, this year's event runs Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. *See our Events 1997 page for details on VISION COMPUTING's efforts at last year's Expo.

VISION COMPUTING obtains its own Internet domain.
May 15, 1998	VISION COMPUTING has registered its own Internet domain. In "cyberspace" we're now at vision-computing.com. The new "URL" of our site on World Wide Web is http://www.vision-computing.com and, you can send e-mail to VISION COMPUTING at visicomp@vision-computing.com We hope the new web site and e-mail addresses makes it easier for you to find us on-line. Surf our site for updates on customer services, events, and other personal computing information. Please set a bookmark and stop by often!
