What wasn't to nice was a case of food poisoning which I picked up on Friday night.
It's the reason that this was posted this late. It was a bit of a struggle making today's presentation.
This time the old saying about getting of the pot actually applied..... :D :D :D

7-15-2012 Licking County Computer Society had 35
members present to watch the presentation this afternoon.
    

   
                      (click image to Enlarge)
Some of the members had also attended the
APCUG Regional Computer Conference and said that
they needed more than just on presentation to absorb all the information.
It was a very interesting afternoon with some very interesting people.
Maybe that's why I became an official member of their Computer Society.   :)
I was invited to Supper after the meeting and had something very light.....

7-17-2012 Lehigh Valley Computer Club in Schnecksville, PA had 37 people in attendance for tonight's presentation.
Their meeting is held at the Lehigh Carbon Community College.

                      
                                        (click image to Enlarge)
The club asked many questions and I was hopefully able to answer all of them to their satisfaction.

As you can see, I'll be doing a bit of driving. This is planned for the end of Sept. and the first 2 weeks of October.
For those of you in California, pick a Computer Club near you and plan on attending.
I'd be happy to supply any one interested with further details.

The remote Presentation help on 8/8/2012 for the Indian Prairie Computer Club in Hinsdale Ill was attended by 55 of their members.
Here are some of the pictures the club sent back to me.

      

      
                                         (Click any picture to Enlarge)
The presentation was followed by a Q&A session and unfortunately the video I was able to make of that session only contains
the audio from my end. (The answers.) You'll have to use your imagination as to what the questions where.

Remember, if you live any where near Hinsdale Ill, this would be a great place to get some help with your computer problems.
Joining the club would also give you year around access to a wealth of knowledge.

The flight from Albuquerque to Minneapolis was uneventful and so was the flight from
Minneapolis to NY's La Guardia airport until we came to withing 120 miles of NY.
At that point, the pilot informed us that there where some weather delays and we might be delayed
by about 1 hr.
15 minutes later came the next announcement: We're low on fuel and are being diverted to Syracuse NY for
refueling. About 1 1/2 hrs later, we were airborne again and on our way to the original destination.
The landing was smooth as silk at La Guardia. Unfortunately they didn't have a gate available and we sat on the tarmac
for some time. Once they finally assigned us a gate, and we pulled up to the Jetway, we where told that the Jetway had been set up for a
larger plane and they where not able to align it with or smaller plane due to mechanical difficulties with the Jetway.
At about 11 PM, the problem was finally solved and we where able to get off the pane. The plane was originally supposed to land at 5 PM.
The important part is that I did arrive safe and sound despite all of the delays. My seat assignment for that plane was 13 A.
I think I'll stay away from row 13 on any future flight I take.


                 
Getting ready for the presentation at Rockland PC UG.
                   (click image to Enlarge)

On Sept 5th, I had 2 presentations. The afternoon session was held at the
Jewish Community Campus in West Nyack , NY, and had 29 attendees.
The presentation was followed by a Q&A session.


That evening at 7 PM following the Rockland PC Users Group's Q&A session,
I did my presentation for the 38 members that attended the meeting.
Question where taken and answered as they came up during the presentation and unrelated question where discussed after the presentation.
The Rockland PC Users Group is another great source for answers to computer related problems and,
if you live in the Nyack, NY area is a Users Group worth checking out.

On 9/6/2012 my avast! presentation took me to the Westchester PC Users Group in Westchester County NY.
The presentation was well received by the 52 member who where in attendance. The members also had a lot of questions some of these
came during the presentation and the rest where asked during the Q&A session that followed the presentation.
As you can see from their website, this club is very active and if you live in the area is a club worth joining.

On 9-7-2012 I was at the Icon PC Users Group in Brentwood LI, NY.
Approximately 40 Members and guests attended the meeting.
We had a lot of questions both during the presentation and also afterwards.
The evening ended with a get together at the Peter Pan Diner in Bayshore LI, NY
where we discussed some further avast related material.
