Free Computer Q&A at Third Place Commons
For Fall to Spring 2023-2024, we are alternately 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). These small group sessions are presented 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.
Since we are alternating between
in-person and online, we will be in-person at the Stadler room in
April. Our last online session for this season will be on
Zoom in May. No sessions for June to August, our traditional
Summer break.
We are now in our 14th 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: April 28, 2:00 PM (in-person) Topic: New Computer? What to Add, Uninstall, and Move Getting a new PC or Mac can be a combination of relief (more speed and stability) and confusion (what’s changed, pop-ups and registrations). PC makers add unnecessary bundled third-party items, Apple can clutter the Dock with built-in apps you don’t use. What are the tools or settings you really need? What should you remove? How do you move your old user files and data to the new system? Join us as we sort out what makes sense for you. Register via Google

Questions and Concerns
Either submit your questions in advance or bring them to the session to share. You can also bring your laptop to show problem or illustrate your question. Highly technical or system-specific questions may be beyond the scope of the session and require a separate one-on-one session. Submit your question in advance if you aren't sure whether it can be answered during the Q&A. |
Submit Your General Topic
Have a topic idea you think would be interesting to discuss? Email your topic ideas to me. Best topics are ones that are not specific to any one device but common to many or all devices. Defining technology, security or privacy concerns or "how to" can also be helpful. |
