When are Passwords too secure?
When there is an emergency and no one knows them! Be sure to give someone you trust a list of your User Id's and Passwords in case of emergency.
Did You Know?
If you registered your domains with Network Solutions, they are prepared to honor last wills and testaments. Your executor will have no problems transferring domain names into your heirs names, so be sure to include them in your will.

New/Intermediate User Special Interest Group (SIG)
|
 |
Remember back when you had just the 1 computer that every member of the household had to share? Things have surely changed! These days you could have multiple pc's, laptops, netbooks, tablets, smart phones, smart TV's, set top boxes, ... Trying to stay in touch with friends and family scattered across the globe. Online shopping, banking, trading, and even healthcare management while trying to stay secure. And you thought that one computer was daunting. Well, that's where the New/Intermediate User SIG comes into play. No one person can figure it all out, but collectively we can cut the digital beast down to size. We share our experiences learned over the "years of tears" to enable each of us to more fully take advantage of our digital devices.
Everyone is encouraged to email questions in advance to newuser@nopc.org. This gives Ray a chance to do a little research.

Elections at NOPCC
At the November General Membership meeting we held elections for the officers and directors to lead the NOPCC in 2017. The officers are President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. In addition, we have three Directors at Large. These seven members constitute the Club's Board of Directors. Each member of the Board will serve from December 1, 2016 until November 30, 2017. The Board meets once a month, on the third Wednesday, at 6:30PM
We'd like to thank those who served us well in past and those who will lead us in upcoming year. If you'd like to serve in any other capacity you're in luck. We can always use more help on any of the committees. Get with any of the directors and we will find a job that best suits your interests and talents.

Alternatives to Pay-TV
Greg Wilde and Ray Paternostro, Jr. made a few appearances discussing how it is possible to trim the cord and cut down, or possibly eliminate, the video portion of the ever-growing cost of cable, and satellite television services. As this is a quickly evovling topic, we set aside an area where you can find the most current updates to their presentation.
