The NOPCC is now set up to participate in the recycling of printer consumables. This accomplishes two goals:
1) helping to keep spent cartridges out of the waste stream, and
2) having another source of funds coming in to the clubDon't forget to bring your spent inkjet & laser jet printer cartridges, and even cell-phones to the next meeting.

Tips from the Webmaster!

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.
