Here is the transcript of the chat event on improving PC performance. 

Please note that I have altered the transcript so that follow up questions are included in the logical order.

I am in the process of planning the next chat event. I would love to hear what topics would interest you, what day of the week and time is best for you, and if you think an hour is too long.

So, if you get a minute, please let me know.
