MEETINGS
22 April - Microsoft will give a major presentation on Windows 8.1
Heartbleed
What should you do?
Hello and Welcome,
The
Tuesdays Seniors and the Genealogy groups will hold their meetings on
Tuesday and details are
below.
Microsoft will be making
their presentation at the Main Meeting next week. This will be an
important meeting for members to attend, not only because support for the
very popular Windows XP operating system has ended but because of the
developments that are occurring in Windows 8.1.
Tuesday 15 April - Seniors -
T Kelly - 9:30am - 12:30pm
Many organisations now
provide services that permit large quantities of files to be stored "in
the cloud" including Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft's OneDrive and
much of this off-site storage is provided free of charge.
Most experts suggest that
storage of files in the cloud should be an essential part of our strategy
to back up critical computer files, but maintaining the security of those
files is an ever present concern.
At this meeting Tim Kelly
will look at a number of free programs such as Duplicati, Cloudfogger and
BoxCryptor which can increase the security of files by encrypting them
before they are uploaded to "the cloud".
A question and answer session
will be available at the meeting to help resolve any computer problems
members are experiencing.
Tuesday 15 April
- Genealogy - T Eakin - 12:30pm - 3:30pm
The construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge
heralded a massive growth in the development of the suburbs situated on
the north side of Sydney harbour and changed the lives of the people
living in those suburbs.
At this meeting Terry Eakin will discuss the
planning and construction of the bridge and the involvement of local
people in the opening celebrations.
This meeting will appeal to everyone who has an
interest in Sydney and its history and you are welcome to attend the
meeting and participate in the discussion.
