Palm Beach IT Group meeting, 8 Jan 13

John Vighetto wrote a great summary of this meeting.  I quote it here:

"

I wanted to thank Blain Barton for presenting to the group on Windows 2012 as well as Hyper-V within Server 2012. In spite of the poor phone connection we had with Blain and the issue of not being able to connect via Microsoft's Lync service, I believe that everyone had a few informative things to take away from this presentation.

For anyone wanting to receive Blain's newsletter, just send him a blank email with the words "add me" in the subject line. His email is blainbar@microsoft.com.

For anyone interested in keeping up to date with new presentations in the area, check out the following link (http://itprocamp.com/).

While Blain was presenting, I sent out a link for his blog. I the event that you missed that email, here it is once again (http://blogs.technet.com/b/blainbar/).

I also want to thank Lynne Keane of Windstream Communications for always hosting our meetings. She has been hosting them for almost 7 years now. Thanks Lynne!

I will prepare a survey based upon the questions that I had regarding how to keep the interest within the group with regards to presenters and other topics. If use this post, please take some time to answer honestly, as it will show in which direction the group is to go in.

Thanks to all that came out. We saw a few familiar faces that we haven't seen in some time. Enjoy the rest of your week.

Regards,

Here 'JJ' sets up a simple netbook to boot and run in Windows 8 on a 32 g USB stick.  No installation on the unit itself - nothing added to HD - only set to boot on USB.

Does this sound like fun?  Can you imagine booting virtually any unit up in your own Win 8 and doing a demo or just sitting down to work?   Hmmm.....  Possibilities ??  Check out the pic's on the rest of this event HERE  .  ( Happy Holiday (s))

PBIT Mtg, 13 Nov 12

Starting with a few words from our group leader, John Vighetto, " Good morning everyone!

Just wanted to thank Danielle for her fantastic presentation last night. She covered quite a bit and it was all very informative. I also want to remind everyone to please thank Lynne for her hosting our meetings at her office."

If you've never been fortunate enough to attend a presentation by Danielle, you really blew it by missing this one.  You think that you already know this subject matter?  NEWS Flash - Danielle always brings something new and fresh to the table - usually things that will create a positive effect to your bottom line.  Hit the link to the pic's and you'll see maybe 10% of what was covered and how to communicate to your client base how you can bolster their bottom line.  SEE MORE.  

Palm Beach IT (PBIT) user group meeting, 9 Oct 12

This month's meeting of the Palm Beach IT  Users Group (PBIT) featured Greg Tammany of Tammanytechs.com presenting on Search Engine Optimization.  Never forget the 'Peter Principle' .  'Cream rises until it sours'.  How do you get it to 'rise' in the first place, and then keep fresh stuff keep rising while whisking away the 'sour'?  That may be a lot of what Search Engine Optimization is about.  Check out the pic's and a few of the screen shots HERE.
