Were You at the Meeting Last Night?

Posted on May 21, 2013 by SGVAUG BlogMaster

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!
