To anyone on this list who is interested in the Virtual LUG, (a) If you are already on Google+ you can share a post and direct to me +Tessa Keough - just tell me that you are interested in learning more about group and I will respond in Google+. (b) If you are not already on Google+ there are some very simple videos explaining Google+ (signing up for an account with your email address, setting privacy settings, and your profile). Once you are signed up, we can post back and forth through Google+. The helpful aspect of being on Google+ is you can attend hangouts which are simply small group video conferencing (audio and visual) with the ability to share our computer screens (helpful for the person who is presenting each month) and have visual interaction (think Skype but with more people). (c) If you want to discuss before doing anything with Google+, you can send me an email offline - from this post as I am sure that Legacy may think this conversation is starting to veer off the original course. In this regard, I did send in a news item which I believe has to be approved by the powers that be at Legacy. Thanks for your interest. (Paula Ryburn and Marg Strong - I don't see you on Google+ but will try your emails; Kathy Meyer - I do see you on Google+ and will post directly) Tessa
