With the current lock-down in progress , ZOOM meetings will continue till 2nd Dec'.
Speaker: Derek Noronha Content: Efficient Storage and finding old files quickly. This week, a short update of news items for computer users for about the first twenty minutes. For the remainder of this interactive meeting, I will be taking a look at a frequent question from many members on ways of creating efficient storage mediums and quick access to finding older files, especially when one cannot remember the exact name of how the files were stored. I am sure this applies to many of us, unless one is the exception to the rule! Zoom Meeting ID: and Pass-code: Same for both sessions.

The alternatives available in some cases are not necessarily better or rather complex to use for the end user. One of the biggest culprits is a very well known software group. Want to know more !
