Free Computer Q&A at Third Place Commons 


We plan to meet next both online via Zoom and in-person at the Stadler Meeting Room in the Third Place  Commons, just north of Seattle in Town Center at Lake Forest Park  (directions and time below) We offer these small group sessions as a community service.
Typically sessions are on the fourth Sunday of every other month with an adjustment to the third Sunday to avoid weekends adjacent to Thanksgiving and Memorial Day.  So, this means our sessions will be in September, November, January, March and May.
We are in our 13th year of sessions.  Usually the session begins with a presentation on a topic of  general interest.  Then we spend the rest of our time chatting about the questions you bring to the room or submit in advance as time permits. Details are below: 

Next Session: March 26th, 2:00 PM


Topic:
Cellular Computing and the Promise of 5G
5G Mobile Broadband promises to free us from traditional Internet Service Providers. Is that true? What is 5G? The marketplace is confusing me on what it can do. Let’s sort it out!
