Do you need help with your computer?
OR
Has a friend, relative, or tech group member asked for your help with a problem?
You can try to help over the phone, get in your car, drive to their house if they live close enough, create some instructions with screenshots and email that to them, and try to walk them through what needs to be done.
What about someone who hasn’t a clue and isn’t comfortable changing things on their computer? Think your mom, dad, aunt Tillie, etc.
Enter Remote Access software. This Wednesday Workshop will show you how easy it is to use one of the below remote access apps to give or receive assistance.

9/15 - It’s all about the Pi, Raspberry Pi

The low-cost Pi is designed to let people experiment with building software and hardware. It is a very small single board with 1, 2, or 4 GB RAM and USB 3.0. The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B sells for $35 with 1GB memory, but you can pay more to get more memory, a $45 Raspberry Pi 4 has 2GB memory and a $55 board 4GB memory. It can be used as a low-cost PC, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video to creating spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games. It can be used in various projects, from music machines to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras. The Pi uses the Linux Raspbian OS, based on Debian created by Ian Murdock, and his wife, Debra (we learned that at the Review & New workshop).
Dave Melton will show us how he programmed his Raspberry Pi 4 to automate his sprinkler system; others will show us what they do with their Raspberry Pi devices. It was initially created for kids but, aren’t we all kids at heart and having fun with technology.
