December Meeting Presentations

At the December 18 meeting there were two short presentations.

First was a discussion by Kathylee Johnson about the USPS Informed Delivery app. You can find out more and access it from your browser HERE or download the app for use on these platforms:

       

Second was a discussion by Bob Kenlay about the end of support for Windows 7. Microsoft will no longer provide updates for the operating system as of Jan. 14, 2020.

Don't worry, your old machine won't quit working after that date. It just means it will become more vulnerable to exploitation by the bad guys since Microsoft will quit patching security flaws. Be careful and keep doing backups of your programs and data.

If you would like to ask questions or add to the discussion please use the comments feature of this post, below.
