This is a quick post to let everyone know that we will be holding the 2009 GVSUG Winter Social on Thursday, February 26th at the Tap & Mallet Pub (voted “Best New Restaurant” in City Newspaper’s ‘Best Of’ Awards for 2008).
Festivities will be getting under way around 5:00 pm and GVSUG, courtesy of our generous sponsors, will be covering the costs of snacks, so bring your family, friends, and prospective members. (More details and registration info after the jump)
Please use the registration form at the bottom of this post to indicate whether you plan on attending and how many guests (if any) you intend to bring. We look forward to seeing you all there.
Cheers, Adam

One Response for "GVSUG Winter Social 2009"
I’ve had a few Internet Explorer 6 users contact me indicating that our form doesn’t render well in their browser (i.e., they need to refresh the reCAPTCHA panel in order to see any words). We have gone to great lengths to ensure our site renders well on older browsers (IE6 specifically), some features just can’t be supported by such old software.
Since I hate to see people suffer needlessly, I want to take this opportunity to encourage any hold-out IE6 users out there to please, please update your browsers. It will improve your overall web surfing experience by giving you faster page loads, improved security, multiple tabs, better image rendering, and a host of other features.
Here are my recommendations for good lightweight modern browsers you may want to consider:
Mozilla Firefox 3.0 (Mac & PC)
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Apple Safari (Mac & PC)
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Google Chrome (PC)
http://www.google.com/chrome
While still somewhat bulky, if you are suspicious of non-Microsoft applications, two newer versions of the Internet Explorer ( 7 or 8 ) browser are also available.
Hope this helps, Adam
