Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well. We are OK too. The world is getting rougher - more violence and more fires and other nature based issues. I do have lots to share so lets get started.
BTW, I almost did not share out this article on exporting system logs - as I thought all of us would know how to do that. But I share the article here in case it helps someone.
I contributed to Pete’s poll and it used in his article. Definitely an interesting list. Even the Honorable mention is too. I think that Pete is working on improving his list.
Have a great week,
Michael
