YOUR DIGITAL AFTERLIFE
DON’T SCAM YOUR HEIRS, FRIENDS (AND EVERYONE YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN) FROM YOUR GRAVE! February 7, 2019 @ 7 pm Keller Williams Realty 120 Bloomingdale Rd. ****location map**** 1st Floor White Plains, NY 10605 Plan now to attend! 
So you think just having a will is good enough? David Shulman will walk you through the pitfalls of dying without preparing your digital life for the “afterlife.” He will pose some crucial questions you SHOULD deal with right now (BUT would prefer not to). ~Do you think having a will and a person with Power of Attorney is enough? ~How do you avoid messing up your kids, relatives, friends, and the causes and organizations you have supported during your life? ~Will your online life be as private as you wish? ~How to deal with your DIGITAL legacy? ~Are your information assets safe and in the control of those you intend? ~Can you prevent your online accounts from falling into the wrong hands? ~What will happen to all your pictures? ~Have you prepared your ON LINE afterlife? ~How can you make the correct moves now to avoid adding great trouble and ongoing difficulty to your survivors and the organizations you supported? David, our own Weekly Update co-editor, teacher, sailor, former tech hardware installer, and board member, will pose questions to ponder so you can cope with the ongoing effects of the digital world we are sliding into. He will provide resources and sources for information. Oh, and one more thing................... At every General Meeting we have door prize drawings. This month's door prize: Generic mid-tower computer Intel 2.93GHz Core 2 Duo 4.0GB DDR2 memory 320GB SATA hard drive 160GB SATA hard drive Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit (fujitsu) LibreOffice 6.1 GeForce GTS 250 video card
The draw prize is open to members only but non- members can easily join at the front desk to be eligible for the drawing. Only $50 per year per family with the winner taking home this computer.
‘WiFi radio’ as a range-extender
March 7, 2019 @ 7 pm
Plan now to attend!
two or more sites or buildings? A solution is “WiFi radio,” which tech guru Rob Caluori will explain and explore at the March 7 general meeting. WiFi radio has greater range than ordinary WiFi. It unleashes the potential of WiFi to go beyond your four walls, beam a WiFi signal on the other side of your property for that security camera or shed, and even can connect directly across to buildings without using the internet (useful in an emergency!). Rob Caluori has worked at Westchester Library System since 2007 where he currently serves as the director of information technology. He brings experience from various areas of IT from working in the medical, financial, and library industries. He’s a member of local HAM radio club Westchester Emerg Comm Assn (WECA.org). Rob holds MS degrees from Pace University in Information Systems and SUNY Albany in Information Science as well as a BS in Information Systems from Mercy College.
