Grant to Tailem Topics!!
The Lions Club of Tailem Bend present a grant of $2,500.00 to
the Tailem Bend Progress Association’s long running community
magazine Tailem Topics, Thursday, May 14, 2024
Jo McGrath, the current Editor of Tailem Topics, is extremely excited about what the Lions of Tailem Bend’s charitable grant will mean to the publication. “I’m over the moon, we have never really had a computer that was up to the task,” Jo said. “This will be a big upgrade, I can’t wait – the new system will be able to quickly run all the components of the Adobe Creative Suite.” The Adobe Creative Suite includes Adobe Stock Assets and tools like Photoshop Image editing and design, Adobe Express All-in-one design, video, photo, and PDF app, Lightroom Photo editing and organization, Illustrator Vector graphics and illustration, and Premiere Pro Video editing and production.
Tailem Topics’ computer system upgrade, consists of:
XIT: i7 Dragonfire, Intel Core i7-14700 5.4ghz CPU, Gigabyte GA-B760-DS3h Motherboard, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1tb NVMe M.2 SSD, Nvidia RTX407012GB Graphics Card, 850W GOLD Modular Power Supply, Cooler Master ATX Case with Win11 Home. It arrived on Thursday, May 16, 2024. “It came at precisely 12.55 pm, it was like Christmas all over again, and I would like to thank Murray Computers for helping us build such a quality machine,” said Jo.
“The speed and the ability of the upgrade will definitely give me more time to work on the finishing touches that have been missing lately,” Jo said. “It will provide a much larger window of time to add special effects and get the publication off to our proofreaders - who of late have not been given the time to do their volunteer work, well. “My time as Editor of Tailem Topics has at times been difficult, however since we have been working with Peri and Glenn from the Murray Bridge News, things have improved greatly,” Jo said.
“Clubs and organisations, like the CFS, Golf, Football and Netball Clubs, to name a few, are all contributing on a regular basis these days – we get the odd local family celebration, personal messages and comments, we even get photos submitted from a lady who lives in Kingswinford, England and who regularly holidays here.” “The best thing about the upgrade, is that we finally have a machine that is capable of working at the speed required – I transferred fifty gigabytes of files in just over 5 minutes, it was transferring files at about 100 mega bites per second,”
Jo said.
“It’s also nice to have the peace of mind that I’m going to get the Topics completed on time and to the proofreaders well before the printer’s deadline.”
