ATTBI subscribers are currently experiencing configuration issues with Yahoo Groups. If ATTBI has bounced you off of lists, Yahoo will unsubscribe you. You must get a yahoo account to reset your lists. But there is a string of characters which is graphical in nature and will make completing this process difficult. The alternative is to fill out a form, which allows you to request that you be called, and Yahoo will sign you up over the phone. Also, you should disable the e-mail screener in your ATTBI account.

Following our question and answer segment, Amy ruell talked about tips and tricks for accessing ACB Radio, ACB Tuner, and downloading files to your personal computer. The meeting was adjourned at 3:30 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted,
Jeanette Kutash
VIBUG Clerk
