Prior to the meeting, I was invited out to lunch.
The buttermilk pancakes were excellent and very filling.
This was my last presentation on this trip to California.

Effective Immediately.
In the interest of protecting the safety of everyone, mine included,
presentations for the foreseeable future will be done remotely using ZOOM.

My audience will still see and be able to interact with me during and after the presentation.
I'll be doing the presentations from my home and, the audience can also connect remotely
from the safety and comfort of their own home.
This will ensure everyone's safety and, help prevent the spread of the corona-virus.
If you're group is interested in a presentation, simply contact me to start the process.
As always, there is no charge to the club or it's members for this service thanks to Avast Software.

3-19-2020 Computer Users of Erie - Erie, PA

Last night we had the first of hopefully many presentations
where everyone was in their own home utilizing ZOOM to come together, do the
clubs business and view the presentation.
Since everyone arrived a little early, we had a great discussion about
how the Corona-virus was affecting everyone lives. We also talked a bit
about how everyone is handling the social separation.
The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. I was able to show off
Avast Omni since that was one of the main topics of discussion in the Q&A.
I was quite happy with the overall outcome. Everyone was able to participate
verbally and via their individual webcam. For right now, this is as close as we'll
come to actually being there in person.
Stay safe everyone and let's get together remotely.

that covered all kinds of topics.
I answered quite a few questions about the use of ZOOM
After the presentation we had a Q&A session and I think I was able to
answer everyone's question.The most discussed topic was about VPNs

3-28-2020 Channel Islands PCUG - Camarillo, CA

I had the pleasure of hosting the CIPCUG meeting today. It was a total ZOOM meeting.
We practiced social distancing. Since one person joined us from Florida and the club
is located in California, it covered quite a distance.
I did my presentation during the final hour of the meeting.
The meeting started at 9:30 AM and ended at 1:00 PM
Those attending were very surprised how well everything worked and how easy it was
to join and be part of an interactive part of the meeting.

This timeline mainly covers the first half of March. 2020

Since then, I like everyone else have been grounded and working from home.
Hope this comes to an end soon. Stay safe, stay home, keep your distance and,
wash your hands often.
