14May2020 - Bob's Bytes: Random Stuff

I did not realize till just after the preshow video that there was a theme to this presentation.  Yes, I talked software a lot, but from the initial video, the Convid-19 updates, space disasters and close calls, funny virus interstitials, to the closing video, this was a reminder of of time we have and how we choose to use it.  As the Knight says in the The Last Crusade, "Choose wisely."
