Drop in session at the Salvation Army on Monday 22 January 2024 written by Clive

We had a productive and friendly afternoon at our FREE Monday session in the Salvation Army, Morley. Steve, our guide, spent time with a number of people, sorting out basic problems that people have with new machines. He showed John how to protect his new laptop. He also helped Elaine with her machine, giving her instructions on how to join a new Whats App she's interested in. Then we had new visitors, Cynthia and her husband. She wanted to know how to set up a Play List on Amazon Music. Steve persudaded her that Spotify was a better option. He also indicated that her son Stuart was free to come along to sort out problems with his new laptop. Julie needs to set up a password system so that she can logon to different sites with more confidence. Roy gave her some basic instruction with the Password Manager,Bitwarden, which Steve and many in the group favour. Steve gave her further assurance later. Most people were happy but I'm afraid my attempts at loading Linux on my old Win7 machine was a failure. At least, Rick showed that my logon disk needs sorting out. All good natured and we all got benefit from the friendly atmosphere.
