| HAVE YOUR COMPUTER QUESTIONS ANSWERED! The program planners for our First Wednesday PATACS meetings in Arlington are looking for topics that members would like to have explored or questions answered - this is your opportunity to have a say in topics addressed at this meeting. This is a smaller meeting than the Fairfax meeting, and it allows for much more interaction between members than is possible in Fairfax. And there's the post-meeting Pizza and Salad SIG, the post-meeting social at a nearby restaurant - another value-added feature of your membership! Please send your suggestions to our meeting program planners at arlmtgpgm@patacs.org. |

The title really sums it up! My Windows laptop was being obsoleted by Microsoft, but it’s been a good, solid device for over ten years, and I preferred repurposing it rather than shelling out for a new system. I’ll discuss which flavor of Linux I chose and why, and walk through the steps I took to accomplish the migration. My successful experience may give others the confidence to do the same..

via Zoom Only Jan 28th - See Above Banner OPCUG Members Welcome! 4th Wednesday, February 25th, 7 PM Zoom Details Will be Sent by Email 5711 S. 4th Street, Arlington, VA 22204 Extended Q&A Troubleshooting Do all your electronics, gadgets, computers, phones, tablets, TV sets, networks, earbuds, and software apps/applications work perfectly? Do you never encounter glitches, freezes, failures? Are you always certain what brand and model product to buy? If so, we'd like to hear about your magic touch. But if you're like the rest of us, none of that is true for you. And so PATACS' first Wednesday meetings may be just the resource you need for a happier technology life. Just as most PATACS meetings begin with a Q&A session, so does this meeting. But then the meeting continues for nothing but Q&A -- meaning that it's possible to have detailed and in-depth discussions, including real-time research and demonstrations. Same as all PATACS meetings, these sessions are free and open to the public. So join in, share your questions, problems, and pain -- and perhaps receive answers, solutions, and relief. |
