WARNING Avoid pressing the F1 key while on the internet

While browsing on the internet, if you see a notice telling you to press your F1 key (that's across top left of your keyboard)

DON'T DO IT. This key usually means "Help" but not if you are online. It will release a potent virus in your computer. . .Do not press the F1 key no matter how many times your computer asks you to. If you don't press F1, you will be constantly reminded to do so . . .just click on the little 'x' on the window, or close your browser totally - might even be better to reboot.

Click on the SNOPES link below for further confirmation at of this threat.

True. Check link: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/f1key.asp

Scheduled Programs are over for the season.

For those who are still in the park, informal meetings will take place Saturday mornings. Come to the computer room for some social bonding and for solving all, or most of, your computer problems (we hope).

Have a good summer and hope to see you in the fall...

Members: do you need to print a Boarding Pass but have no printer?
The following members have graciously offered to let you use their printers:
Jack Cleveland; Derek Falck; Hal Shockey; Frank Stratton

Do you have computers in working order that you want to dispose of?

Take them to Lowel Egren.
He refurbishes and donates them to underprivileged children who would not otherwise have a computer.

Wireless Internet in the computer room

Don Bartholomew and Hal Shockey teamed up to research the possibility of getting “wireless internet” in the computer room area to facilitate training programs.
The project was successful and as of March, 2009.
Wireless internet is now available in and around the building housing the computer room, library, and card rooms. It also supports the swimming pool area and the multi-purpose room. This is a significant improvement!

Magic Jack

Have you heard of “Magic Jack”? It's a land line telephone system which operates through the computer rather than the telephone line.
To check into it, go to “magicjack.com”. A number of Club members plus others in Paradise now have it and it is working quite well. A regular land line phone costs approximately $312.00 annually and the magic jack costs approximately 47.50 the first year and 20.00 each year thereafter. Wow! If you use it with a multiple wireless phone set, you can use it throughout the home. Another item introduced and demonstrated by the Computer Club.
