Well, third time is the charm, right?

Now that we really (?) have the technical stuff working (?), we can get to the content – One Drive – the why’s and why not’s.

As always, we’ll have Open Q&A.

Also, if you have a ‘troubled’ system (or your system has a troubled user!) please contact Chuck via email to arrange for a ‘Live, No Net’ troubleshooting session in front of the group.

This SIG meets this month both in-person at NUMC and remotely.  If attending remotely, click https://bit.ly/3vEoTK5 .

Artificial Intelligence (AI)(remote meeting only)
9:30 – 10:30 am

For February, the big news has centered around DeepSeek R1.  It has provoked some controversy, some “competition”, and some backlash. Howard is sure something else will pop up before the AI SIG meeting, but he will definitely address DeepSeek R1.

The Artificial Intelligence SIG will meet remotely via Zoom at

In February, JB Burke will present on Touring the Web #11: Post Election 2024 Edition.

On this Tour, you will learn what OneDrive really is, see some iconic photos from the 20th Century, learn how an 8-story 11,000-ton building was turned 90° while work went on inside. Plus, a bit about WWII innovations, favorite ice cream flavors around the world, how to launch a satellite without a rocket, historic aircraft and why you should switch to a Chromebook.

Unsure of AI? We’ll have some tips about how to get into it. Plus, videos, links galore and much, much more.

This SIG will meet both in-person at NUMC, and remotely using Zoom.  If remote, use this link   (https://bit.ly/4hMFxda)
