Improving PC Performance
Does your old PC seem sluggish? Or maybe your new PC is not optimized for performance? Either way, Phil Blecker gave a talk about how to improve/optimize your PCs performance at last week's CCH. There were several positive comments and if you missed it (or want to hear/see it again) click on the link below.

Cutting the Cord
Toni Valenstein and Brian Osgood lead a panel discussion on Cord Cutting on Feb 23,2024. They discussed the systems they use as well as some alternatives, the costs, and options. This was not a how-to discussion per se but more a discussion of the options. While there are many options to consider, the Computer Club does not endorse any one option over any other nor does it sell any services to cut the cord.
