government must change to meet the challenges of
the 21 st century new economy. The Los Angeles

Financial Times reported that the book "has become
required reading" in the British Prime Minister's
office, and it received bipartisan praise by everyone
from Gore to Joe Lieberman to Newt Gingrich who
called it "one of the most thoughtful books about
,the information age to be produced by anyone of
any ideological background." Everyone is welcome.

Village Computer Club
If you've been following the Village Computer
Club's agenda, you would be expecting our guest
speaker's subject for February to be on Smart
Phones, focused on GPS, and March's topic of
Smart Phones, focused on editing, calendars, etc.
Due to an unexpected change, we are reversing our
months' topics.
On Saturday, Feb. 13, The Village Computer
Club's guest speaker will be John Lanzerotta, who
will be covering the intricacies of the Smart Phone's
capabilities. The Smart Phone can truly make you
feel smarter, because you'll be working smarter.
Lanzerotta's presentation will cover "On-line
Everything" -- file storage, file editing, calendar
and address book applications, as part one of his
presentation. Part two of his presentation will cover
the Blackberry Smart Phone, which will include the
synchronization of both your calendar and address
'book.
Lanzerotta lives in West Sedona, but he doesn't
work there. He works "in the cloud." Lanzerotta, of
Lanzerotta Consulting, has over 13 years of experi-
ence in database application data enterprise systems
management, and information technology process
consulting. His customers around the globe included
the Department of Defense, Department of Labor,
Department of Justice, National Institute of Health,
House of Representatives, state of Michigan, AT&T,
Capital One, Ernst & Young, and many others. He
has certifications from BMC, HP, Microsoft and
EXIN.
Please don't think because you don't have a
Blackberry you don't need to hear this presenta-
tion. This is the here and now; there is no turning
back. The smart phone will only be getting smarter
and one day, in the not-so-distant future, it will the
norlTl.
The computer club meets every second Saturday
of the month, at Village of Oak Creek Association
Community Center, 690 Bell Rock Blvd Village of
