SCPCUG Holiday Party 2019
The Space Coast PC Users Group held its Christmas Party on Saturday Dec 14, 2019 at the Merritt Towers Club House. This was our 17th Annual Holiday Party. This year's head count was 42 per our Membership Chairperson Linda Glassburn. The SCPCUG provided sandwiches, meat and cheese platters, cake, and beverages. Members were welcome to bring a side dish or dessert to share. As in the past, there again was plenty of great food and a variety of desserts along with much fun, laughter, and conversation. This year we featured the singing of Christmas Carols. Member Gene Vlahovic lead the group in several songs. Also for the second year in a row Treasurer Irene Nelson again oversaw the optional "White Elephant" gift exchange. Participants had to bring a wrapped gift (value $10) either new or a re-gift. Last year a total of 23 people participated. This year 29 people participated resulting in some exchanging and giving up of originally selected gifts as the game progressed and causing some sadness along with surprise and laughter. A great and fun time was had by all!

My 3D Printer - There are numerous 3D printing capabilities from FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) to SLA (Stereolithography), ranging from a couple hundred dollars upward to thousands.

He will cover the tools he uses to design a 3D object for printing, the software he prefers to use to process the 3D objects into gcode (the 3D printer's language), and the software he uses to make 3D printed objects. He will talk about the filaments available, their pros and cons, and ways to improve the look of the finished product, the build plate, calibration, and maintenance of your machine, as well as some homemade tools he uses. Larry is constantly finding uses for his 3D printer. He doesn't know how he would get along without one now. Join Larry to learn why and how you, too, should have a 3D printer.

The August Central Florida Computer Society Meeting featured a YouTube video recorded by Carey Holzman called Scamming the Scammers - How to Handle Fake Tech Support Calls. This 1 hour 29 minute video of an "actual" phone call exposes how phone calls received from a person posing as a Microsoft person or “Windows Support person” are scams. Do not allow remote access to your computer by unknown parties. This is a very widespread scam and too many people succumb to it.
