Again this year, several of your Board Members. had the opportunity to a end the annual 3‐day South West Computer Conference held at Cal
Poly Pomona in their Kellogg Confer‐ence Center. This is a ended by numer‐ous PC Clubs, comprised almost en rely of our peers from Clubs throughout Cali‐fornia. We were informed, enlightened and entertained by speakers who were our peers, or industry experts and ven‐dors who well know our interests, chal‐lenges and issues. I think we 6 Board Members came away with useful new informa on as well as reinforcement for some conclusions we’d already made in the past 2‐3 yrs., as follows:
#1. We and our peers don’t necessarily see every change in the compu ng world (“new and improved” so ware, hardware or process) as an improve‐ment and/or advancement for our par‐cular compu ng wants and prac ces.
At the top of that list presently would be whether or not having, knowing and effec vely using Windows 8.0/8.1 is an advancement and improvement, or just a major hassle. There are strong opin‐ions on both sides – it depends who you ask! The con nued availability of Win-
dows 7 from manufacturers, retailers and computer so ware sources suggests that nobody – including Microso – has reached a conclusion on this yet.
#2. We’re slowly but surely migra ng from the desktop and tradi onal laptop to the most comprehensive, efficient and user friendly devices we can use to accomplish the tasks that we deem im‐portant as PC users. Portability has be‐come a significant factor in user’s buying habits. There is a universal need to have ever‐present Email access and internet connec vity; for many others, the use of various components in an Office Suite or photographic storage and edi ng ranks as “must have” on the chosen device. The target list seems to be a short one ‐ chrome books, ultra books, various oth‐er custom‐fi ed laptops and increasing‐ly – tablets and the Smart Phone. In short, we’re seeking seamless exchange between devices and simple‐as‐possible, reliable, produc ve and sa sfying com‐pu ng experiences.
#3. The popularity and availability of the Cloud has made the above item a cause for study by more users than ever be‐fore. One’s choices for u lizing the

July 1st marked the ten year anni‐versary of when this Plaque Of Ap‐precia on was presented to club member Jus n B. Webb.
During our club’s early years, it was the reless hands‐on efforts of people like Jus n that have made our club what it is today. Jus n served on the board of the PC Club as treasurer, systems ad‐ministrator and advisor. He func‐oned as the interface between
the PC Club and GRF during the period of me when all requests for funds were processed exclu‐sively by GRF.
Our community now has the most advanced state‐of‐the‐art facility for computer training thanks to
the upgrades implemented by Jus‐n.
Purchase and installa on of the ceiling mounted projector
Installa on of the front wall screen
Ceiling mounted speakers
Rou ng of all wiring through the walls, ceiling and floor
Movement of the Instructor sta on and sound equipment to the front of the room
So next me you visit the Learning Center, take a moment to observe the Plaque Of Apprecia on and all the astonishing improvements as a direct result of Jus n's efforts.

Message From The President (continued)
Cloud are many, and at this wri ng, many op ons exist for basic, useful and secure storage space for FREE. Check this subject out; note that this topic is different from “back‐up” which you’ve heard about countless mes through every forum we have to stress the need to do so. Do your research about the Cloud and be sure to read some of the reviews. Then get on board according to your need and willingness to pay. Op ons include Dropbox, Amazon, Mi‐croso ’s OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive); Box; iTunes; Google Plus; Flickr; JustCloud; ZipCloud and Suger‐Synch. Most are suitable for all your folders, files, photos, videos and music. Note that you’ll have to ante up for extra storage space if you have numer‐ous items in the photo or video category.
#4. We all evidently live and die by E‐mail, so “it be‐hooves you” (as Grandma used to tell me) to have a service that keeps your messages on a server in the Cloud. You can then retrieve them any me, any‐where and from any device you choose to use to ac‐cess the internet. The best op on is a ma er of per‐sonal choice – the most popular are Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook, in no par cular order. With each of these it may be necessary to go to “Se ngs” and en‐able “Synch” for your various devices in order to take advantage of this type of account. All your email folders will be available on each of your devices, yet they are not on your PC or current device.
Let’s talk Health!
A subject of major interest all across our Village is health and well‐being –physical and mental ‐ and the related medical informa on, treatment and re‐search, or preven on of illnesses, diseases and/or injuries. It's clearly a fact of life in our community that many people are dealing with, or will eventually be facing and comba ng health‐related problems as
we age. If you’ve been spared a moderate to serious health issue thus far, or have been reluctant to u ‐lize the resources on the world wide web – maybe now is the me to take a look. There’s a wealth of informa on available from well known, trusted, and reliable sources. Both Federal and State agencies have made a large quan ty of informa on available, but thanks to the power of internet search engines, you can and should go beyond the Government for the array of informa on resources available. See below ‐
If you’re seeking the body of knowledge that ad‐dresses an issue, or disease you’re experiencing per‐sonally (or for another family member, loved one or friend) just “google” that topic; I assure you that you’ll find something that is significant and useful that you might not obtain (in your 10 minute visit) from your Dr’s. Office. Here’s my approach ‐
Begin with either of these verbs and add the illness or disease: diagnosing “x” _____; trea ng (or treat‐ments for) ”x”______. Another, broader approach is to simply enter the name of an illness or disease, i.e. – Mul ple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. in the search box. You can also search a medical procedure (or device) and let google divulge the scope of informa on available. Plan to be over‐whelmed with informa on; however that could be viewed as be er than having li le or no informa on, or – as is o en the case ‐ input from just a single source, i.e. the medical prac oner? Here’s an ex‐ample: entering the term Mul ple Sclerosis resulted in a display referencing 9,800,000 instances of at least a par al match. Typing diagnosis of, or diagnos‐ing MS will produce roughly ½ the number of refer‐ences. Searching trea ng or treatment of MS will work the same way. So, if you have health concerns and/or issues – get to a computer. You owe it to yourself!

The 1st mee ng of the PC Club So ware Sub‐commi ee was held recently. This team is
comprised of Barbara Harris Bob Sellards, Robin Nahas, Nancy Kring, Jerry Moore and chaired by Sandy Tauber. The team was formed with the objec ve of finding so ware to assist us in managing our club administra ve tasks. One promising candidate is a com‐pany in Arizona called ProClass that has a mature Internet based system that may allow us to automate both our class registra on and membership renewal pro‐cesses. And YES—the possibil‐ity exists that we might finally be able to accept credit cards and not require a separate check for each class enroll‐ment and/or membership re‐newal.
Work con nues on finding ways to improve the reliability of the Internet connec on in the Learning Center. Physical modifica ons to how each PC
is hard wired to the router have now been completed with the objec ve of reducing the number of components that could be a point of fail‐ure.
On a more pleasant note, your editor, my spouse Judy, Bob Sellards, John Huber, Nancy Kring and Helen Cou‐tant had the opportunity to a end the 21st annual APCUG Southwest Technology & Computer Conference. Reg‐istra on for this three day conference held in the Kellogg‐West Conference Center and Hotel at Cal Poly in Pomona was subsidized by our club and included five delicious meals.
One of the highlights of con‐ference was the “Star Party”. A dynamic and very knowl‐edgeable representa ve from the Celestron company set up a powerful telescope that al‐lowed us to view Mars and Saturn. A member of the Temecula Valley Computer User Group shared with us a wealth of ps and tricks that
we can u lize on our iPhone and iPad devices. A seminar on how to prepare engaging and compelling PowerPoint presenta ons was awesome. I ul mately learned why Mi‐croso changed the Office us‐er interface to the “ribbon” and it finally made sense. Yours truly did a presenta on on the Google Chromebook that I will repeat in an upcom‐ing SIG.
One addi onal piece of prac‐cal and me saving advice
we were able to acquire at the Associa on of Personal Computer User Groups (APCUG) Southwest confer‐ence was how to imbed a Google calendar into our club website. If we are lucky enough to find one or two volunteers willing to be trained and serve as alter‐nates, we hope to develop a consolidated calendar that reflects all club events related to training classes, monthly mee ngs, SIG mee ngs and any other events of interest to club members.

Cyber Ed Corner Hello from your Educa onal Director
Thanks to all our volunteer teachers and assistants, for Session 3 we were able to offer 8 PC computer classes and had an enrollment of over 100 students. We were also happy to be able to offer our Korean and Chinese residents classes in their own language. Session 4 registra on will be September 5 and 6, with classes star ng September 15 and ending Octo‐ber 17. Registra on for the class in the Korean Lan‐guage will be September 4. Watch your email for fur‐ther informa on or check the PC club website. (thepcclub.org.) Handouts will also be available in the PC Workshop. We are s ll in need of teachers. If you have a special area of exper se and would be willing to share, please contact me. We are open to sugges ons for new and different classes of interest to our Village residents. A lot of our classes have curriculum al‐ready developed so new teachers don’t have to start from scratch. The Educa onal Department's purpose is to serve the PC computer needs of the Village
community. We welcome ideas for classes you would like to see us offer. Email me at nan‐[email protected] with sugges ons. We also are looking for teaching assistants. Bob Baumann will be presen ng a Summer Break Video series of movies in the Learning Center on Thursdays from 10 to 12. See your email for more informa on. Flyers will also be posted around the community.

Tech Questions And Answers QUESTION: What must I do to allow mul ple computers in my household to share a single Internet connec on? ANSWER: You need to purchase a router which is installed between your cable modem and your computers. The router func ons much like a traffic cop. When a specific com‐puter is ready to receive informa on request‐ed from the Internet, the router knows which computer asked for the informa on and where to send the reply. QUESTION: My “smart” TV requires a con‐nec on to the Internet and my WiFi connec‐on is unreliable. What are my alterna ves?
ANSWER: An Ethernet cable connected from your router to the TV is the best choice. If the distance is too far, another choice is a Power‐line Adapter. This will use the wiring in your household to carry an Internet connec on. A transmi er connects to your router and is plugged into a nearby AC outlet. A receiver is then plugged into an AC outlet near your TV and an Ethernet cable is connected between the receiver and the TV. Powerline adapters can be obtained for as li le as $30. QUESTION: What is a fractal? ANSWER: A fractal is a never‐ending pa ern. Fractals are infinitely complex pa erns that are self‐similar across different scales. They are created by repea ng a simple process
over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dy‐namic systems – the pictures of Chaos. Geo‐metrically, they exist in between our familiar dimensions. Fractal pa erns are extremely familiar, since nature is full of fractals. For in‐stance: trees, rivers, coastlines, mountains, clouds, seashells, hurricanes, etc. Abstract fractals – such as the Mandelbrot Set – can be generated by a computer calcula ng a simple equa on over and over. To learn more, visit fractalfounda on.org QUESTION: What’s the difference between a 32 bit and 64 bit computer? ANSWER: A 64 bit computer can process data in larger “chunks” for faster thru put. It can handle larger integer values and can address more memory storage loca ons. Older 32 bit machines are limited to slightly less than 4 GB of memory before memory storage loca‐ons run out of addresses.
QUESTION: What is a PDF file? ANSWER: PDF stands for Portable Document Format and was ini ally a proprietary format developed by Adobe Systems in 1993. The original concept was to provide a universal format that could be read by any computer with a free reader program and programs to create PDF files had to be purchased from

Tech Questions And Answers (continued)
Adobe. This approach was heavily u lized by the United States Government and around 2008 the format became a royalty free open standard. Now you can read and create PDF files with many different free programs. You can pen them with the Chrome browser and create PDF files from within any Microso Office program such as Word, Excel or Power‐Point. QUESTION: I need a be er tool for viewing and organizing my large collec on of digital photographs. I’ve heard that Adobe Light‐room works quite well but it’s expensive. What are my alterna ves? ANSWER: Both Photoshop Elements and Pi‐
casa have reasonably goods tools for this pur‐pose, but if you want something that’s free and fast, download FastStone Image Viewer. You should also be aware that Lightroom can be downloaded as a 30 day free trial by click‐ing HERE. QUESTION: How do I find out about other computer clubs in my area and when they meet? ANSWER: A good resource is the APCUG website. By poin ng your web browser to h p://ugls.apcug.net/FindUserGroup.aspx you can find informa on on many of the clubs in your state. I have o en used this re‐source when traveling out of state to visit other clubs and exchange informa on.

Subject: Expensive Parrots A man goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot. The shop owner points to three iden cal looking parrots on a perch and says: "the par‐rot on the le costs 500 dollars". "Why does the parrot cost so much?" asks the man. The owner says, "Well the parrot knows how to use a computer". The man then asks about the next parrot to be told that this one costs
1,000 dollars because it can do everything the other parrot can do plus it knows how to use the UNIX opera ng system. Naturally, the increasingly startled man asks about the third parrot to be told that it costs 2,000 dollars. Needless to say this begs the ques on "What can it do?" To which the owner replies "to be honest I have never seen it do a thing but the other two call him boss!".

USER: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away." TECH: "Went away?" USER: "They disappeared." TECH: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?" USER: "Nothing." TECH: "Nothing?" USER: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type." TECH: "Are you s ll in WordPerfect, or did you get out?" USER: "How do I tell?" TECH: "Can you see the C:\ prompt on the screen?" USER: "What's a sea‐prompt?" TECH: "Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?" USER: "There isn't any cursor; I told you, it won't accept anything I type." TECH: "Does your monitor have a power indica‐tor?" USER: "What's a monitor?" TECH: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a li le light that tells you when it's on?" USER: "I don't know." TECH: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?" USER: "Yes, I think so." TECH: "Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall." USER: "Yes, it is."
TECH: "When you were behind the monitor, did you no ce that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?" USER: "No." TECH: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable." USER: "Okay, here it is." TECH: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer." USER: "I can't reach." TECH: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?" USER: "No." TECH: "Even if you maybe put your knee on some‐thing and lean way over?" USER: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle‐it's because it's dark." TECH: "Dark?" USER: "Yes‐the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window." TECH: "Well, turn on the office light then." USER: "I can't." TECH: "No? Why not?" USER: "Because there's a power outage." TECH: "A power... A power outage? Aha! Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you s ll have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?" USER: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet." TECH: "Good! Go get them, and unplug your sys‐tem and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from." USER: "Really? Is it that bad?" TECH: "Yes, I'm afraid it is." USER: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?" TECH: "Tell them you're too stupid to own a com‐puter!"

Free Stuff Tips For Organizing Digital Files
These days, everyone has millions of digital files stored across mul ple devices. Music files, photos, work or school documents, financial files, you name it ‐‐ we have tons of stuff to sort through. You might try using the “Search” or “Find” func on on your computer or tablet to get to the file you want, but that usually turns up a huge list of possible matches instead of the exact file you wanted. Searching relies on both descrip ve file names and useful keywords within the file. You need a system to organize files as you create and store them if you want to find them fast later. Digital organiza on systems can be a ma er of per‐sonal style, but a few essen al truths can help any‐one get their files in order.
Don’t save every file, and do delete old files ruth‐lessly — If you don’t save it, you don’t need to organize it. Delete duplicates, get rid of ancient files you never use, and don’t download every email a achment. For example: When you take photos, delete the blurry, photo‐bombed, and otherwise bad shots before or as you import the pictures to the computer.
Do name files in a detailed and consistent fashion — Say you’re on the job hunt, and you need to send out your current resume. But all you can find on your laptop are files named “resume.doc,” “resume1.docx,” and “resume2.docx.” Instead of was ng me opening each file to figure out which one is the most re‐cent and relevant, name them dis nc vely. Use dates and keywords in the file names to sort doc‐uments, such as “resume‐2014‐01‐05.docx” or “resume‐2014‐compsci.doc.” This will make file searching more efficient too.
Don’t create an overly complicated folder system — You don’t need a million folders and sub‐folders to stay organized. As long as all your files aren’t floa ng loose in one giant “Documents” directory, you’re probably a step ahead with digi‐tal storage. Create folders for each of your major file types or by the project you work on most fre‐quently, whatever makes sense for your data.
Do put new files in the right place immediately — Use the system you set up with every file, all the me! Make sure to put your new music, photos,
and documents in the appropriate folders as soon as you click “Save” or “Download.” Get into this habit, so you’ll stay organized.
Do use intelligent shortcuts — Is there a budget spreadsheet you access frequently? Do you al‐ways download music to the same directory on a backup drive? Make a shortcut or alias of that specific file or folder, and place it on your com‐puter’s desktop. Then you can keep the original file or folder organized by date or keyword in one place, but s ll get to it immediately with one click.
Once your files are be er organized, you can more easily search and view them through any device and with tools like the Seagate Media App. This so ware automa cally organizes your files by type, so you can play movies, see photos, listen to music, or view doc‐uments. The Media App works with Seagate Cen‐tral, Wireless Plus, and LaCie Fuel, and it wirelessly syncs with your tablet, smartphone, or computer. —By Trystan L. Bass—reprinted with permission

APCUG Southwest Computer Conference Every year a small por on of your computer club membership dues goes to APCUG. This is an Interna‐onal Associa on of Technology and Computer User
Groups with member clubs in the United States, Can‐ada and Australia. There are 35 member groups in California alone. APCUG provides a vast number of resources to help clubs such as ours stay vibrant and produc ve. For the past 21 years, APCUG has been hos ng annu‐al conferences for clubs in our regional area known as the Southwest Technology & Computer Confer‐ence. Two years ago these conferences were moved from the San Diego area to the beau ful Kellogg‐West Conference Center & Hotel @ Cal Poly Pomona. This mul ‐million dollar facility provides a secluded,
serene, warm, rus c and relaxing atmosphere highly conducive to this type of conference. With presenta ons, seminars, a vendor expo and door prizes, there was something for everyone, re‐gardless of the pla orm preferred or the level of ex‐per se. There were many networking opportuni es with PC, Mac & Linux a endees. This long‐running conference brings everything you would come to ex‐pect including new and innova ve technologies for a endees to discover. This was the place to talk one on one with others who might be experiencing the same challenges. Here are examples of some of the presenta ons your club had the opportunity to experience.
