[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Tech for seniors

Thu Sep 15 09:31:03 PDT 2022

APCUG membership is worthwhile to look into for your group.

My group here in Sarasota is a member. I regularly attend zoom seminars, 
training, etc. APCUG reaches out to each group and passes on the current 
seminar list folks can sign up for.

These are the SEPTEMBER workshops that APCUG has going on.

Personally, I'm signing up for the Learning Linux for Windows users on 
the 21st.

During registration, they will ask for confirmation of the user group 
that you belong to that is a member of their organization. I'm a paid 
member of STUG (Sarasota Technology User's Group)

*Hard Disk Sentinel, Gabe Goldberg.* Gabe will give a short presentation 
and demo of Hard Dick Sentinel (HDS). All members of APCUG groups are 
eligible for the 50% discount. HDS monitors drive status, including 
health, temperature, and all S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and 
Reporting Technology) values for all hard disk and solid-state drives. 
And it measures the disk transfer speed in real-time, which can 
benchmark or detect possible hard disk failures, and performance 
degradations. It is the perfect data protection solution: it can prevent 
drive failure and SSD/HDD data loss because it has the most sensitive 
disk health rating system, which is extremely sensitive to disk problems.
/If you have questions for Gabe, please put them in the Chat Box with a 
G before the question./

*Apple and Samsung Health Apps, Jerry Rogan & Bill James. *We can track 
and maintain our health by using our watches compatible with the popular 
Apple or Samsung Health apps. They can become our digital assistants.
Jerry Rogan will begin the workshop by giving a presentation and demo on 
Apple's health apps; Bill James will follow with the same for the 
Samsung health apps.

Please put your questions in the Chat Box with a J or B before the 
question, and we will go through them after the two presentations.

*Learning Linux - Getting started using Linux from the Windows users' 
point of view*
*John Kennedy & Cal Esneault. *This will be the first of a 3-part series 
specifically for Windows users who want to learn more about Linux while 
still using Windows. In part one of the series, Introducing Linux, we'll 
begin with John sharing what software Windows users could/should be 
running to make the "slide" over to Linux easy. Then John will show the 
step-by-step process for downloading the Linux Mint ISO (installation 
file) and another program called Etcher (program to make live USBs) onto 
your Windows machine. John will finish up his portion of the workshop by 
taking you through creating a live USB with Mint on it. Next, Cal takes 
over and will show you the step-by-step process of getting your Windows 
computer to boot to the live USB so you can run the Linux Mint operating 
system without making ANY changes to your Windows operating system. 
Finally, Cal will finish this first session by giving you a tour of the 
live distro and what things you might need to check.

*Are you considering investing in a home theater or maybe upgrading your

their experiences and tips on how to get the best bang for your buck. 
They will discuss the equipment and define the jargon in addition to
