GET TO KNOW YOU
I hope all of you had a great and safe holiday. And I hope your health prospers thru the new year.
If you received any new technology or computer related ``toys'' during the Christmas season, I'm sure all of us would like to know a little something about what you got. So be prepared to talk a little bit about your new smart phone, tablet, HDTV, computer, or other tech gizmos. Tell us about both the good and the bad.
As always we'll have our usual roundtable discussion of questions, issues, and announcements.
For January, we have decided to follow the format of last January's meeting and take a bit of respite from our normal presentation and run an extended roundtable instead. The goal of the extended roundtable will be for the steering committee members to get a better insight into the computer technology leanings and related aspirations of the club's members as trends and interests change year to year. Are you the type that just wants reliable, inexpensive access to your email and browsing? Are you afraid to make online purchases or manage other online financial transactions? Or do you do more? Do you watch videos online and need a high speed connection to download large files? Do you manage large files, keep picture or movie albums, remotely access your home computer? Are you looking for other ways to use your computer such as Internet TV? Are you tending to use many more portable digital devices?
Besides the good things you do with your computer, what things about computer usage irk you? Is your computer slow to do certain things? Does it fail more often than you would like? Does it lose network connectivity too often?
Hopefully, this discussion will help the steering committee with ideas for future meetings.
