  Last night I spent some time with the  folks in Erie, PA . The topic for the evening was all about Windows 11. This was a hands on demonstration of Windows 11 and all the new features that are part of this newest release from Microsoft. We started the evening with some basics that should be followed before the upgrade including creating an image backup, just in case. We all know that things only go wrong when we don't prepare for it. I was also sent a list of questions prior to the presentation from various club members that I answer and provided any needed material. Many of the questions pertained to compatibility with current programs and hardware. I personally haven't run into any of those types of problems. It's always nice when you can actually answer a question while demonstrating the answer directly on your system. A picture is still worth a thousand words.

  I spent quite some time this afternoon with the members of  SCUG . It was a small but very interested group. They listened intently during the presentation and laughed at the jokes during and toward the end of the presentation. We had a very lengthy Q&A session after the presentation covery many topics including, Avast Hack Check, password managers, questions about how your AV keeps you safe, we also covered some of the features of PowerPoint, and some of the newer features of Zoom. We also talked about quite a few topics that have nothing to do with computers or computer security. Iceberg calvings was one of those topics. It was an enjoyable and interesting meeting.
