Palm Beach IT Users Group Meeting at and sponsored by: Windstream 7121 Fairway Drive, Suite 101 Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33418 17 February 2015

From PBIT Group  Organizer, John Vighetto:

I wanted to thank everyone who made it out tonight, as well as all who shared their little “secret” with all of us. I also want to thank Jennifer for consistently hosting our meetings at Windstream Communications; thanks once again Jen.

It was good to hear from people about what they want to see at future meetings. For everyone who did not have the opportunity to participate, we want to hear from you too. Please either post back to this email or send me a private message on what vendor, technology, or new & emerging geek thing you think the group would like to see a presentation on. I’ll then be able to generate a list for us to pick from, and it would be sincerely appreciated by all.

One last thing; I’m posting a picture that Adam had a small discussion about and was entertaining (See below). Until next month, hope everyone has a great time working in IT!

Congratulatulations to  Pat for winning the external USB DVD burner, and to Robert for winning the D-Link security web camera.

Well, for the first presentation/meeting of the year, this was the first time in a long time that everyone that registered had the opportunity to show up! Thanks to all that came out.

Brian did an excellent job of covering all of the modules of the GFI Max Service Desk, and his presentation was not only very detailed, but extremely informative. He compared GFI to other current RMM systems out there and it’s a very reasonable solution for many of the people in the group. Thanks again for the presentation Brian!

Also want to thank, as always, Jennifer of Windstream for hosting our meetings at her office. We couldn’t do it without you!

Glad to see that Kenan Klos of Klos Consulting sent one of his techs (Joseph Riling) to check out the presentation and the group.

Finally, for those of you that paid for this year’s annual membership; thank you. For those of you that didn’t, please bring your membership dues next month or you will not be allowed into the meeting. For the people that just paid for last night’s meeting: if you want to bring the balance of $180 to the next meeting you can be paid in full for the year and save yourself $40 (just saying).

Check back on our website because we will hopefully have the new site up and running very soon (I know that many of you have heard me say this the entire year last year, but it’s actually happening)! See you next month.

I thought that but you have to be there to know the stories about the M&Ms. I don't think any of the original story and later ones that go with the pictures made the audio recording. :)

Palm Beach IT Users Group Annual Holiday Party!

(John Vighetto)  I want to thank everyone who showed up tonight, and it was great meeting Adam's wife, Andrea, and Ratzil's wife, Karen. Hopefully, we weren't too boring for you ladies!

This year's Grab My Package was a big hit, and I'm pretty sure that everyone got exactly what they wanted (or picked). We'll know for sure one Dave Lord posts the pictures he took on his blog.

A special thanks to Valerie, the general manager of Roxy's, for allowing us to have our get together for the 4th year now, and also Jamie the bartender and Katrina our hostess. Our 50/50 this year was won by Richard Battin (doesn't he win every time he comes...?!), with the other half of money going to the Roxy staff as a small thank you for their help in making this a huge success!

Thank you to all that attended and hope you enjoyed yourselves; I know i did!

Until next year, wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous New Year!

(Adam Swartz) 

Good time last night. Hope you guys all took a walk down Clematis Street to see the Sandi Land Christmas Tree (big pile of sand with lights..LOL)  http://wpb.org/sand-and-sea-sun/

(Greg Kirkpatrick)  Yes, it would be important to see this before the next hard rain.

(Ratzil Rodriguez)  John, thank you for putting this extraordinary party together and all other involved. We certainly had a great time!
(John Vighetto) 
If I'm not mistaken, the city has "treated" the sand for such weather conditions. 

 

 (Lynne Keane)

Agreed! It was a lot of fun J

(Sergio) John,Had a good time. Thanks for organizing not only the party but the monthly events. Kudos.

(Robert Oliva) 
John,
We appriciate all the work you do for the group. The party was great. Fun times great food and drinks!
(Danielle Major)

John, you done an excellent job yet again!
Thank you very much for putting all of this together and for all that you do for the group!
It was fun seeing everyone.   Thanks for making the evening so much fun, y ' all! 

And, the pic's?  Oh Yeah, Photo Essay

Zero Downtime Migration - Palm Beach IT Users Group Meeting at and sponsored by: Windstream 7121 Fairway Drive, Suite 101 Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33418 11 November 2014

A few comments from our group organizer, John Vighetto:

I want to thank Manuel Palachuk for his presentation for Zero Downtime Migration. I’m positive that everyone had something to take away from this presentation.

And please don’t let me forget to thank our wonderful host (and vendor) Jennifer & Windstream Communications for allowing us to continue to have our meetings at this location.

For next month we will have our annual Christmas Party, and I have secured Roxy’s Pub on Clematis for our final get together for this year. More on that in future emails.

Thank you for all that attended, and I hope to see everyone next month. Have a great rest of the week!
