May Meeting - Sorry we missed you, if you did not attend.

5/7/2017

Thank you to those who attended our May meeting. We were few, but we had a great meeting and discussion. Di showed a video on a WW2 project by a young impressive local student, 15 years old. Check out his website: http://www.ww2veteranshistoryproject.com/. Scroll down and check out the interviews by "The Greatest Generation." Be sure to watch the "Ken Pennington" interview, (Diane's family friend).
We also looked at the advantages of joining the APCUG users site. Did a summary of one video. More on this later. Nice discussion. Have a great summer and see you at our September 6th meeting.

Thank you to Kevin Beauregard for a great program on new technology, which premiered at the Consumer Electronics Show this year. We always appreciate Kevin's presentations. Thanks again!

See you at our April 5th meeting at 3 pm, Rec Center Meeting Room. Our guests will be representatives from, "Best Buy". They always entertain us with new products and Q & A. See you on the 5th of April. Bring your questions and sharing.

Important Reminder: Diane, Club President is continuing to remind members and students about keeping your passwords in a location that is accessible to your spouse or designated beneficiary. Passwords mean accounts and devices, (such as iPads, iPhones, tablets, mobile phones, laptops, desktops).

For Example on Devices: Ask yourself this question - "Does my spouse know my Apple ID"? If something happens to you - your device cannot be, used, given to anyone/family, traded-in or sold if you cannot reset that device and you need the log-in/password, in order to reset or update. Note: Windows or Apple will NOT help you, even with a death certificate - you will encounter enormous frustration and roadblocks! Why cause your spouse/beneficiary that trouble?

For Example on Accounts: (such as Facebook): Ask yourself this question - "Can my spouse or designated beneficiary SHUT DOWN your Facebook account after you are deceased"? If not, your Facebook account (and, other social media that you signed-up for) will continue on after your death.
