The presentation was followed by a lively question and answer session.

During every presentations, there are always quite a few of the Android smart phone and tablet users that install the
avast! Free Mobile Security Application while it's being discussed. I guess you could classify that as "Instant Gratification!"

  • No support PMs thanks
Aside from the good work that you are doing, it is a surprise to me at just how many local computer clubs that there are in the USA. Not just computer clubs, but Seniors computer clubs and well supported as well.

In the UK they are as rare as hens teeth, that said a quick search does turn up quite a few.

There are certain parts of this country where Computer Clubs still thrive. As you can see from the pictures, they are mostly used and
attended by us "Older Statesmen".
I still don't consider this work but a pleasure. I have to admit, the last three days have been a bit taxing.  :)
For the next 3 days I get a break and so will all of you. Only 2 presentations per day for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  ;D

The afternoon presentation happened at Happy Trails Computer Club in Surprise, AZ. 34 Members and Guests attended.
I was told most members usually leave if the presentation lasts longer than 1 hr. This one took 1 1/4 Hrs to complete and,
then they all stayed for a question and answer period after the presentation. More installs of the Mobile App.

On 3/16/2012 I visited the El Mirage Computer Club in Mesa, AZ and the Four Parks Computer Club in Florence, AZ
In Mesa, 17 members attended this small but lively meeting. Lots of questions where asked and answered.
In Florence, only 12 people attended but, I was told that was pretty good. Unfortunately this is probably the clubs last year due to declining attendance.


Sorry, no photos.  My own fault for not charging the battery. More pictures on St. Patrick's Day!

64 Members and Guests of the Computer Club of Green Valley came to the presentation today.
You guessed it, it's located in Green Valley AZ. I was told that this was the most informative presentation
they've had this season.
(Either this one was pretty interesting or, it doesn't speak much for all the others....)
