I mistakenly posted the date originally as December 2, 2017. Obviously, I meant January 2, 2017! Sorry about that!
Here's the slideshows I used during the presentations with typos fixed.
Thanks for posting those Jason. I've been quite sick over the holidays. I had very much wanted to be there to see this. And a note in passing, this is the first time in a while a 'visual' presentation has been done I think. Colours and everything. Hope you had a good crowd.
Sorry to hear you've been sick, Harry. Hope you're feeling better now.
I forget what the actual numbers were, maybe five or six not including myself.
Oh, jeez; feel better, Harry! <^8# Worst time of the friggin' year to be stuck sitting around under the weather...
I thought we had a pretty good turnout, and Jason did a really good job of presenting both topics - VERY informative... (<grumble, grumble!> now I *haveta* set up a VPN... Makes *SO* many things better...)
If you really don't want to spend money, Bob, I did find these guys:

Sadly, Jason, my wife will attest to my total lack of concern over money. I'm the guy who goes to the nearest store and pays $7. for a bag of milk. She freaks, 'cuz I could've - and should've! - gotten one for, like, $4. or so; me, she sent me to the store for a bag o' milk, I brought home a bag o' milk; what's the problem?! <^8#
So I don't go to the store much... But $5./mo., $10./mo., I just need to wrap my head around the whole VPN thing, then put in place what provides me the feature set I might need. It costs more, it costs less... Whatever. It's much more about not diving for the first option on my radar only to find details overlooked...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not averse to free; it's just that so many 'free' things aren't. Windows 10, anybody?! <^8#
