Silver Surfers - computing

The group improves computing skill: Internet, Email, Calendars, PowerPoint Presentations, Word Processing and Spreadsheets.

MEETINGS ARE AT "2:00pm" On the second Friday of the month.

Tablets are NOT just for indigestion! Nor are laptops or PC's!

Whatever your computer knowledge, we can help be able to use a computer with confidence

Although we can cater for individual member's needs, on a 1 to 1 basis, we started a BEGINNERS/IMPROVERS course on 10th February 2017 Everyone who has attended these sessions have said they enjoyed it and got a lot out of it! It is not a lecture, just members learning off each other in true u3a fashion!

Should you be interested in giving a Monday Morning Talk, but are put off by the thought of PowerPoint! We can sort that out for you as well!

No need to be afraid of technology anymore!

If you want to save money by booking a holiday online, look into your family history, or order your shopping from Tesco, we can show you how to do it simply and easily. You can even use SPELL Check......

I halve a spelling checker,
It came with my pea see.
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I dew knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait aweigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the era rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

I've scent this massage threw it,
And I'm shore your pleased too no
Its letter prefect in every weigh;
My checker tolled me sew.

Don’t be a victim to email scams
A popular cyber crime scamming method with criminals is to send fake emails, pretending to be from a company you trust. They do this to access your personal information, such as your bank details, names and addresses. These emails usually include urgent payment requests and generally may include some of the following:
• a link to update your payment information.
• you may be threatened with consequences if you don’t.
• a link to take you to a false website and;
• if you’ve provided personal details, they may have been stolen.

How to spot a false email
You should keep a look out for:
• poorly written emails with spelling and / or grammatical errors
• emails linking to company websites that are different to the company’s real web address. For example, a scam email may provide a web address that looks like the genuine one, I had one the other day that purported to be from PayPal, but the email address was spelt 'PaiPal.

Any reputable company will NEVER ask for your password or bank details in an email.
