I'd like to thank Tech Heads members for their assistance to U3A this month - to Barry for expediting the purchase and delivery of the I-Pads and Otterbox covers; to Bill and Terry for researching into WiFi options for W4, and to Bill for fitting the I-Pads into the Otterbox covers. Bill commented on the excellent design features of these covers - they are incredibly strong and at the same time all the features of the I-Pad can be used with ease. An excellent choice, Barry!
The selection of the best choice of WiFi option for W4 is still to be decided and negotiations are continuing. We need an option which has an adequate level of Gigabytes to meet our growing needs.
Support for a package containing well over the current trial of 8G was provided last week. Bill mentioned that the modem screen near the computer had a figure on the bottom left hand side which seemed to register the use of the WiFi, so I said I would monitor it when I had the opportunity.
On Tuesday I mentored a U3A member for almost two hours, using the 'Treasure Hunt' resource and our web site to do so. I had my smartphone with me and used it several times to refer to the internet. The amount registered on the modem screen initially was 0.03 MG, at the end 414 MG. I will do a few more 'tests' over the coming weeks.
