Upstairs room

8:30 – Frank – “1Password for Absolute Beginners – Why you need it, how to set it up, how to use it to keep all your passwords under control”

Downstairs room
8:30 – Geoff Alves – iTunes for Absolute Beginners – what it it, how to set it up, run it, and use it for your music.

The hall will open from about 7pm so you have plenty of time if you need to set yourself up on a table if you would like to bring along your own equipment to set up and follow along during the sessions.
