Be very careful when using a public computer located at a public library, Internet Cafe, Airport etc. or when overseas! Check the connectors on the PC/Laptop etc and if a device like the one illustrated here is fitted……      

    DO NOT USE IT! 


 


This is a storing device that fits at the end of the keyboard cable  connecting to the PC. It`s specialized to save all typed keys! Mostly used in Internet cafes, exhibitions, hotels, ships & airports. Refuse to use a computer fitted with a device like this – you are at great risk as others can obtain bank accounts online & other important sites. Eveything you type via keystroke is recorded for later use by folk – even your identity could be captured!      

To be safe when using ANY computer away from you MUST check the PC for any suspicious piece fitted behind!

Peggy McCauley from Port Macquarie Seniors Computer Group Inc. has reported this problem for new users

Email Problems
If you are experiencing problems using the online class booking system or contacting the Web Administrator on the Contacts page, the problem maybe your email system needs to be defined. A message such as this maybe appearing – Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed. This means that your email system has not been defined.
In other words your computer cannot talk to the Server/Computer which runs our website. So therefore cannot tell the Server which email program to use.

“Even though they are really old I would like to buy an Epson lx810 dot
matrix printer or similar to print labels.  Do you know where I should
look for them or does someone you know have one sitting in a cupboard
who would like a few dollars for it?”
