Computer Club January Meeting

Computer Club January Meeting

Introductions and Welcome, especially to new members

A welcome and reminder for any newcomers. We’re getting around 40 members at our meetings.

After more than two years use, the `regulars’ have become familiar and professional with Zoom.

Meeting `discipline' is good, but occasionally members may somewhat prolong a discussion.

There are a lot of people at the meeting, and  they all may like a chance to join in.

I and the committee ask that: 

  • Everyone please avoid `jumping in’.  Use the 'Raise Hand' option before raising any topic. 
  • Try and focus on the subject being discussed at the time;  New Subject - New hand-raise.
  • We ask that you avoid rambling into other side topics.
  • Please don't be offended if I or one of the Co-hosts jump-in to bring the discussion back to the topic.

Topics

The FHSC Survey

A brief update on response numbers, and where the analysis is at.

Website Changes

Following last month’s discussion, is there anything else you’d like to ask?

Mini PC’s

A number of members are considering or actively replacing outdated computers with one of these very up-to-date devices.

I propose a brief discussion; seeking members who are considering use of a Mini PC, in order to upgrade their system.

These devices significantly reduce the space taken up.  Both Apple and Windows systems are offered. Typically a Mini PC device is 4 5/8" x 4 1/2" x 2".

Just Google `Mini PC’.  Should we form a Computer Club Sub-group rather than bore everyone else? 

Back-up Software

Bill Pearson is seeking to refresh his current application.  What are members’ current thoughts? – discuss

Question Time - for everyone

Do you need some help?  Please think about your current problems. Ask any question on any Family History or Computer-related subject.

Someone will have an answer for you - no question is too simple!
