Hey Steve,

I've been hesitant to use meet.jit.si for privacy reasons, but 8x8's
business model and practices are pretty convincing signs that they'd
take privacy seriously, and of course their privacy policy is pretty
good.


I need to do some testing to see if firefox will work for me. I have to
re-enable mic and cam as well and test those out, hopefully no problems
there....and take the tape off the cam lol. If firefox doesn't work I
can install chromium somewhere and go that route.

Then the question becomes, anyone else interested? If so, we could set
a date a little further back maybe on a Sunday afternoon and come up
with some topics and a timeline of events just to make sure things
don't go stale, but otherwise take a pretty loose and informal
approach.

If it's just you and me, Steve, like I mentioned before, informal is
good for me if it's good for you, and maybe a Sunday afternoon soon?
Mine are or can be open for the foreseeable future...
