HAVE YOUR COMPUTER QUESTIONS ANSWERED!

The program planners for our First Wednesday PATACS meetings in Arlington are looking for topics that members would like to have explored or questions answered - this is your opportunity to have a say in topics addressed at this meeting. This is a smaller meeting than the Fairfax meeting, and it allows for much more interaction between members than is possible in Fairfax. And there's the post-meeting Pizza and Salad SIG, the post-meeting social at a nearby restaurant - another value-added feature of your membership! Please send your suggestions to our meeting program planners at arlmtgpgm@patacs.org.

Experts Panel

Your Questions Answered

Computers and technology are constantly changing, and taking us down winding paths that can be challenging to navigate. This month, our long-form session will feature three members with extensive experience with tech and computer issues professionally and personally, taking your questions, helping solve and smooth out the bumpy terrain that confounds all of us. Help the team get a head-start with your issues - send your ??? via email to: spkrquestions@patacs.org

Our Panelists: Geof Goodrum, when not hiking mountains, is developing Google Workspace tools to organize PATACS records and Board activities, and has long experience swimming in the Linux ocean. Tom Gutnick is President of Sunny Banana IT Consulting, helping businesses and individuals with consultation and training, and teaching at local colleges and Arlington school educational programs. Nick Wenri wrestled with government technology pre-retirement, and has been a helper for our twice-yearly PC Clinics since 2009.

Meeting Location: Carlin Hall Community Center,

Technology & PC Help Desk:
Extended Q&A
Troubleshooting

Do all your electronics, gadgets, computers, phones, tablets, TV sets, networks, earbuds, and software apps/applications work perfectly? Do you never encounter glitches, freezes, failures? Are you always certain what brand and model product to buy? If so, we'd like to hear about your magic touch.

But if you're like the rest of us, none of that is true for you. And so PATACS' first Wednesday meetings may be just the resource you need for a happier technology life. Just as most PATACS meetings begin with a Q&A session, so does this meeting. But then the meeting continues for nothing but Q&A -- meaning that it's possible to have detailed and in-depth discussions, including real-time research and demonstrations.

Same as all PATACS meetings, these sessions are free and open to the public. So join in, share your questions, problems, and pain -- and perhaps receive answers, solutions, and relief.
