We Welcome All Tech Enthusiasts

PSA: I am sorry to say that I had technical problems during the first 35 minutes. Volume levels, computer crashing, and an extra microphone (accidental turned on at re-boot) caused a number of audio problems. I have cleaned it up the best I can, but it is what it is. Still we had a great meeting, and I am always looking forward to the next. Where, I am sure, we’ll have much more technical success.

Some of the Topics from today:
