Computer Club General Meeting

December General Meeting Speaker: Tech Specialists and Librarians from Mesa Library -- Main Branch.  It is always good to hear what new programs that are available. The board has asked for the presentation to focus on the video calling available online and compare Skype, Face Time and Google Hangouts.  For Genealogist, they have available a free access to Ancestry.  Checking out e-books is available as well.

November General Meeting Speaker:  Gordon Flanary Jr from Byts Computer Reapair:   He returned to address the Windows 8.1 Update situation and tell us about his services. He thanked members who had used his service and described a computer protection package service he was offering.  He told about his refurbished Windows 7 computers he was selling. He gave information about how he saw the market for tablets leveling off as anyone doing work needed a full computer rather than just a tablet. Then he took questions from members and was very knowledgeable and was able to answer the questions very clearly.
