With luck, there should be two topics covered at tonight's meeting.
First, email. Though this might seem to be a mundane subject, there are issues around continuing to use POP3 (which most people use) that members are going to discover, if they haven't already. Also with the winding up of paradise.net.nz this might be a good time to cover this.
We'll look at POP3 vs IMAP4 and demonstrate features that gmail has that can help.
Second, NAS - Network Attached Storage. As time permits, there will be quick introductory demonstration of a QNAP 4-bay NAS; this is capable of about 8TB of storage with current hard drive sizes. It has a lot more capability than just storage however (it can also manage Bittorrent downloads, and includes media servers) so may be of interest to those who use digital media on different devices around the home. This hardware is probably worth an in-depth demonstration at some future date.
You really should not miss this meeting!
