This “Page Zero” is a place to present information related to the most current activities of the Grand Computers Club (GCC) and the New Technologies Special Interest Group (NT/SIG) in particular.
This month’s meeting is on Thursday, March 21 at 3:30pm in the Computer Club Classroom. The topic is “VPN—Virtual Private Network”. We will look at what is a VPN, what are advantages and disadvantages, and why you may need one.
The NT/SIG will continue to hold monthly meetings and support other club activities including Tech Help throughout the year. Topics for the our meetings through September 2019 are posted in the Open Use room and a printable brochure can be found on the NT/SIG web page.
As always, I encourage your ideas for topics and projects. I will try to make the presentations interesting and topical. If you would like to make a presentation at one of the meetings, please contact me at [email protected]

Susan Diane Wojcicki July 4, 1968
3rd CEO of YouTube (Incumbent)
Susan Diane Wojcicki (born July 5, 1968) is a Polish-American technology executive. She has been the CEO of YouTube since February 2014.
Wojcicki was involved in the founding of Google, and became Google's first marketing manager in 1999. She was in charge of Google's original video service, and after observing the success of YouTube, proposed the acquisition of YouTube by Google in 2006.
Wojcicki grew within Google to become senior vice president of Advertising & Commerce and lead the advertising and analytic products, including AdWords, AdSense, DoubleClick, and Google Analytics.
YouTube, then a small start-up, was successfully competing with Google's Google Video service, overseen by Wojcicki. Her response was to propose the purchase of YouTube.
She handled two of Google's largest acquisitions — the $1.65 billion purchase of YouTube in 2006 and the $3.1 billion purchase of DoubleClick in 2007.
