Questions on any computer-related issues are welcome, as are mini-presentations of your favourite computer program or on an interesting topic that you would like to share with the group. Similarly, if you have a question about anything that would fit into one of our "Computer Basics" or "Smartphone Basics" segments send that along too. No question is too basic. If you don't know the answer, it is practically certain that there are others who also don't know. But, if nobody asks the question, we won't know to provide the answer... Send your questions or the details of what you would like to share to: SuggestionBox@opcug.ca 01:41:36 Jeff Dubois: Serge Erik mentioned installing software in a VM to sandbox it. See my question above about Windows 10 and second license key... necessary or not? 01:45:27 Alan German: Does anyone have experience in managing context menus and could give a brief (10-15 minutes) presentation at Q&A? 01:48:46 Jeff Dubois: night all.... have a good night. 01:48:55 Natalie: Thanks!
