Were You at the Meeting Last Night?
If not, you missed the fireworks!!
A rousing discussion was definitely had between the panel and audience on virus prevention, phishing, passwords, and related subjects. Got a lot of good information. Check out Apps & Traps for more good info.
Did you know that even members who live in the Midwest win drawing prizes? It’s a fact!
Coco’s is now open until 11:00 p.m., so the meeting-after-the-meeting attendees all got to bed late.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!
