Re: BerkeleyLUG meetup this Sunday 2017-05-14 at 85c Bakery

Turns out that I myself cannot make today's meetup :-(

A few Windows 7 and 10 users are becoming hysterical
over the Ransomware messages[1] (and the follow-thru
scam-artists taking advantage of this) that have apparently
been appearing on their PCs over the last several days.

Although I *could* talk them through this over the phone,

they *insist* that I be physically present, if nothing other
than personally handholding them and backing up their
data files (they didn't do all necessary backups!!)

Sorry, will hopefully make the next BerkeleyLUG meetup

on the 28th.

Hey everyone,

Timely reminder here that the first BerkeleyLUG
meetup of the month is this Sunday, May 14th
from 12Noon to 3:00pm PDT at 85c Bakery,
www.85cbakerycafe.com.

85c Bakery is located at 21 Shattuck Square in Downtown
Berkeley; the Southeast corner of Shattuck and University.
The BerkeleyLUG meetup notice is also listed at
www.berkeleylug.com/?page_id=67.
We have a table reserved for the meetup on the
first floor of the bakery/cafe, next to the East wall.

As before, any of you planning on dropping by
this Sunday for the meetup are welcome to bring
along extra surge-protected power strips and long,
grounded extension cords for powering the various
computing devices you're bringing along with you.

Cheers!
-A

When you must stand up for something important in the face of those who would readily cut you down, then you must continually remind yourself of the words of the great Mahatma Gandhi,

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
