MVCUG Meeting Notes
January 9, 2020
Greetings MVCUGers!
We had a fun and informative Zoom meeting on Saturday, January 9, 2020. We had at least 16 participants most of the time and I think I can speak for all the officers when I say we do appreciate the response and your continued support of the user group by joining in these virtual gatherings. If you missed it, please join us next month on February 13.
Our topic was Computer Maintenance and we had a round robin of each officer sharing their own particular take on a docket of categories. John will be posting the recorded video of the entire session (watch your inbox for his email with link), so I will not attempt to recap the meeting blow by blow. What I am providing is a simple link list of products that we talked about. I’m sure I’ve probably left something out, so please forgive, go forth and explore, if you should so desire.

Next month our topic will be “How Mobile Computing Devices Affect Our Lives.” This is a change in the previously published topic due to John’s changing travel schedule. In March, The Mike & Barry Show will return with lots of helpful “How Tos.”
