Free IT and Tea tech support session today (Saturday)

Hi all,I'm holding another free Tech support session today (Saturday 20th July) between 11am and 1pm at Cafe Del Ray on the Lower Richmond Road. You can bring any questions or queries about computers, smart phones, Broadband, TV or just come to meet others. It's dog friendly so I'll have Peppa the cavapoo with me. I was thinking of talking a little about spam - what it is, what it isn't, and how to deal with it. In recent sessions we've discussed how to move your email from BT Internet to avoid the £7.50 monthly charge to keep your address if you leave, and how to cope with an overflowing inbox. It's completely free however it would be nice if you could support the venue by buying a drink or a cake. I hope to see you there. Mark Phillips, Technology Consultant.

HelloAre you able to help with setting up links between my MacBook air and iPhone? I have lost this connection and want to change my AOL email to gmail at the same time.  Can you help?

Sorry to gatecrash but I thought this might be a good thread to note that yesterday I received quite a realistic phishing email purporting to come from the Santander Bank. It wanted me to enter my details in preparation for Santander introducing two factor authentication, and was concerned I might lose access to my on-line  banking account. Tell tale signs where it was addressed to "Dear Customer" rather than referencing me personally by my name, and the email came from the domain "santandr.com" (note the missing "e"), but the clincher was they sent it to an email  account I don't give to banks. Take care ...

Mark, I am having laptop problems.  Can you PM me?

Thanks Michael for this heads up.  It is important to remember that no bank will EVER ask for personal information on email or on the phone, anything else is a scam.
