This month, PLUG welcomes back Jonathan Simpson. Jonathan will be
giving a talk about the Evolve Maestro III E-Book. The Evolve is a
netbook he picked up for $80 at Micro Center. Here's a teaser from his blog:

    Recently I learned of what seemed like a great deal… a laptop
    running windows for just $80. Now, I’m an avid Linux user and tend
    to go back to windows only when necessary, but I figured if it can run
    Windows, it can likely run Linux. Also, it doesn’t hurt to have a
    portable windows install for Ham radio.

Was he able to get Linux running on it? Tune in Tuesday night and find out!

We'll be using Jitsi Meet, a free and open source videoconferencing
platform, for the meeting. The meeting will start at 7 PM. The talk will
start around 7:15, or whenever we're all set and have all the screen
sharing issues worked out. Q&A and general chat will follow the talk.

Jitsi Meet also has apps for iOS and Android. If you decide to
use one of those apps, use meeting code "PLUGNorthJuly2022".
