[Jonathan Goode]

(NOTE: Initial Reminder.)
Sept 9, 2020 *Blind Bombing by Norman Fine* Presented by author Norman
Fine, who is a native of Newton MA*.*
One reader says “I found this book spellbinding and with insight into the
development of a new and advanced secret radar system that permitted the
allies to penetrate through inclement weather and enable the allies to
reverse the dominance of the Nazis at the onset of WWII. Blind Bombing has
a warm sensitive side, in that Norman Fine’s uncle (Stanley) brought the
first production model of the new airborne radar system to Europe
permitting allied bombers to destroy factories supplying the German forces
that were usually obscured by overcast weather”.

We, the Lexington Computer and Technology Group, will meet at the usual
10AM Wednesday time, BUT ONLINE, using the Zoom Video Conferencing
Application, facilitated by Steve Isenberg.

There is an instruction page at https://toku.us/zoomish but note that the
URL and phone number shown are examples.


Some time after 9:45AM on Wednesday, choose one of the following options:

   - If you have the Zoom application installed, start it and join meeting
   with ID 972 6146 0830
   - From your browser, go to: https://zoom.us/j/97261460830
   - From your smartphone, tap this: +16468769923,,97261460830
   - From a “dumb” telephone, call 1 646 876 9923 and enter meeting ID: 972
   6146 0830

Once the connection is established, you may need to locate and use the
on-screen controls that turn on the sound and the video. You should be able
to see and hear others and they should be able to see and hear you, if you
have a camera and microphone (each of which you can unmute selectively).


If this email wasn't addressed to you and you would like to join the group,
or if you have a friend or colleague who might also be interested in
joining, it's easy.  Ask them to go to the group's wiki page at
http://LCTG.toku.us and follow the simple instructions under "Join the
Email List".  By being a member of the group you'll get reminders of
upcoming meetings and infrequent related messages. No advertising.  The
list is tightly managed.

Membership is free and given that all meetings are using Zoom you only need
to be connected to the Internet to join.  It's ok to join from anywhere you
can get a decent Internet connection, even if you're in orbit around Earth
or on another planet or a moon (if you're connecting from somewhere not on
Earth, we'd like to chat).
