Ubuntu-MD

[Eric Henderson]

Ron, et. al.,

Thanks for your service to the group.

I've attended maybe two or three meetings virtually since I signed up.  The
lack of my participation is not from lack of interest, but more from lack
of time... that's on me and my failure to plan ahead.

I think a return to in person meetings would be a plus.  I signed up just a
Covid started so I've not been able to meet folks face to face.   I'm
grateful for tools like Zoom, but it's not the same as in person meets.
Hopefully the Covid insanity will be a thing of the past soon and in person
meetings will be safe for all...

The listed suggestions are all good ones, especially good security
practices, proper use of password managers, two-factor authentication,
router firmware updates, etc.   In addition, I would add some newbie stuff
for us recent Windows converts, such as how to add additional drives to a
computer and the file menu, file structure basics, data backup, Timeshift,
etc.    Also, alternatives to living in the Google universe, and how to get
there, would be a good topic as well.

My wife and I gave up Windows about 2 years ago, we're both PopOS users
(Ubuntu based), and we've not used a Windows based computer since for
personal or business use.

Best regards,

Eric Henderson
