Beware of Guests Connecting From a Slow, Bloated and Outdated Office Computer

If a guest is connecting from their large business/practice office computer which is extremely slow and bloated and outdated – beware! The probability that the recording will be negatively affected due to computer problems is much higher than average, and personally I NEVER feel comfortable in those situations.

I recently asked a guest to restart their computer after finding out he didn’t even remember the last time he restarted that company computer – but the “funny” thing is that it took literally 20 minutes for his computer to restart and load the bloatware, etc.!!! That was an awkward 20 minutes.

And sometimes this situation is degraded further when the guest is using a bad table-top conference call microphone.

Sigh.
