Bob Coppedge's Event in Hudson, Ohio
Bob is the CIO of Simplex-IT, a Microsoft Small Business Specialist solutions company.
He has been in many management and leadership roles throughout the Greater
Cleveland Area. He was CEO of Patio Enclosures, served on the Board as President of
the Greater Cleveland PC User's Group several times, has been involved with many
different educational facilities including: Tri-C, American Logistics Group, and Devore
Technologies.
For the past several months, I've enjoyed the presentations given by Bob Coppege on
various topics. He started with his small business building located out in Hudson which
consisted of approximately 6 attendees and leaped in size to 30 + so he needed to
relocate the seminar to a different location. You may ask what all the hype is about?
Well this is about Microsoft Windows 7 and yes it is something to get excited about.
Some of the features of Windows 7 that were mentioned were the following:
- seemless connections to the Corporate Network from a remote location without the
hassle of using 3rd party VPN software to connect.
- the capability of controlling the use of Program Applications where you can control
which users can launch specific applications
- the fixes that were applied to make up for the shortcomings of Windows Vista
- the volume control that controls the way the "are you sure you want to do this?" box
keeps popping up just to perform any particular function. Yes, now there is a way to
adjust that.
- more accurate recordings of error messages that may come up on the screen so that
if someone calls into the Help Desk for a computer related problem, the system now
has a recording feature to aid people.
Bob has mentioned that people are reluctant to research into Windows 7 because of all
the negatives of Vista that burned many individuals. Now would be the perfect
opportunity to learn more about Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. He has been
scheduling these events for the past several months between the Hudson and
Beachwood areas. With the economy being a little tight at this time, now would be the
perfect opportunity to take advantage of the free seminars to find out more about
these systems which are soon to be released. You can't beat this opportunity with free
food to go along with it while the opportunity is still there. Also, it's a great way to
meet with people, network, and see what opportunities may unfold for yourself.
When I first met Bob, he was attending some of the same Microsoft classes that I had
been attending. We both were already involved with the Greater Cleveland PC User's
Group and discovered that along the way. He has also been my instructor through Tri-C
UTC Campus, he encouraged me to join on the Board for the Greater Cleveland PC
User's Group, he has given me the opportunity of what I like to do best and that is
write news articles about the group, and has returned on several occassions to give
2. great presentations for the Greater Cleveland PC User's Group along with his own
presentations for Simplex-IT.
If you would enjoy learning about these new Microsoft based systems in a fun and
upbeat environment, then I encourage you to attend some upcoming events while the
opportunity is still there!
Sincerely,
Doreen Skonier
