Hello and Welcome,

The New Year has commenced and our first meetings for the year start next week. Details of the meetings are below.

Friday 8 January - Friday Forum - 9:30am - 12:30pm

How safe and secure are the payment arrangements consumers use on the Internet?

At this meeting Roger Foulds will take a careful look at PayPal which is commonly used when goods or services are purchased on the Internet.

Members will have an opportunity to discuss any concerns they might have about using PayPal and other payment services at the meeting.

Friday 8 January - Communications - J Lucke - 12:30pm - 3:30pm

With Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) services becoming common-place, the number of free providers like Skype has grown exponentially and they are all vying for your patronage.

At this month’s meeting John Lucke will examine and compare some of these free VOIP services and the apps they provide.

There will be a question and answer session and general discussion at the meeting, and if time allows John will look at the growing list of free Wi-Fi Internet hot-spots in and around Sydney.
