===== Information for Speakers =====

You are going to present to the Lexington Computer and Technology Group. Great! Thanks! Here is some information that will help make your presentation a better one.


====A Bit About Us====

The Lexington Computer and Technology Group (LCTG) is a volunteer, no-cost, not-for-profit, just-for-fun-and-education organization that meets most Wednesdays from 10am to 11:30am using Zoom.  Many members are accomplished PhD's, MD's, and Professionals who present to the group on a variety of topics, but we welcome and in fact encourage others to speak on topics familiar to them. Meetings are open to anyone interested in the topic(s). The group has an email list just for announcements and discussions and the list is moderated to prevent spammers.

====Speaker specifics====
  * We record meetings.  Let us know if this is not OK with you.
  * We place recordings on YouTube for public viewing.  Let us know if this is not OK with you.
    * Often a speaker doesn't want the meeting recorded.  Sometimes a speaker is OK with recording but not posted for the public on YouTube.

  * Meetings start at 10am.  
  * You are encouraged to join around 9:45am to allow time to correct any connection or presentation issues.
  * If you want to practice ahead of time using Zoom for your presentation, let us know and we'll arrange time to work with you.  ''<fc #00a2e8>info@LCTG.toku.us</fc>''

====And now some hints to help you present====
=== Increase Mouse Cursor Size ===

The default mouse cursor size might be the right one for your everyday use, but it might help your presentation if it was a little larger. Here's how to do that.

== Increase mouse cursor - MacOS ==

digested from [[https://macreports.com/how-to-change-macos-cursor-size/|https://macreports.com/how-to-change-macos-cursor-size/]]

  - System Preferences (icon in Dock, or click the apple in upper-left and choose System Preferences)
  - Click on Accessibility
  - In lefthand column, click on Display
  - You should see Cursor Size.
      - If you don't, click on the Cursor tab.
  - Slide from Normal towards Large to increase the size of the cursor. Set it for mid-way between Normal and Large.

//You can repeat this process when you want to reset the size.//
