For those of you
who missed our
annual picnic on
August 5th, you
missed a
wonderful time.
Rain around
noontime caused
some doubts, but
the weather
cleared, the sun
came out and our
president did a
magnificant job
cooking at the
grill.

Protect Yourself
from the Bad
Guys
|
|
by Dana Gould
|
|
Most of you have
taken the basic
steps to protect
yourself from
harm on the
Internet. You
have the
firewalls and
antispyware and
keep it updated.
That all well
and good but
there are other
steps you can
take to keep you
really safe.
With most of the
tips, what you
gain in
additional
security, you
lose in
convenience. But
you're better
protected!!
