Gary Smith give a PowerPoint presentation on what is a home network and why would you want one.
Learn what is required to set up a home network system, the benefits of a wired vs. a wireless setup, and how to set them up under Windows 10.
Computer networking allows you to browse the internet, stream music from one location to another and much more.
Many devices such as printers and hard disks can be directly connected to your network, eliminating the need to be tethered to your computer. A shared printer can be especially useful if you’re moving around your home on a wireless laptop or have multiple computers. A networked hard drive can act as a shared repository for content such as documents, music, photos etc. and gives multiple computers or hand held devises an easy place to back up important files.
With basic networking, building blocks quickly understand a networked home.
PPCUG is dedicated to helping its members and the community better enjoy the use of personal computers. Visitors are always welcome at our meetings, which are held on the third Monday of the month. Please note that a $3 guest fee will be collected from all non-PPCUG members.
This guest fee is good for one month, for attendance at any or all of our associated groups’ meetings: PPCUG, Photography Club, and the Photography Club Workshop.
PPCUG club dues are the same as always: $24 single, $ 30 family, per year, payable July 1, and give admittance to all group meetings.

Free Depression screenings available
Did you know that depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide? Did you know that depression can shorten you life? Did you know that depression may be as big a cause of cardiovascular disease as smoking, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol combined? In the US, 14.8 million people will suffer from depression in a given year.
Anyone can become depressed. Adults of all ages, teens, even children. Depression is not just feeling a little blue. And it’s not about willpower.

Call 931-707-8200 Monday through Friday from 9 A.M. through 5 P.M. to set up an appointment.

Beware of this Scam
The Tennessee Senior Medicare Patrol has received several reports of Medicare beneficiaries receiving postcards in different colors from The Joint and Back Institute with special notices concerning Medicare and Insurance Covered Back and Knee Support systems.
They ask beneficiaries NOT to call the number listed on the postcard and advise that you talk to your doctor first. According to Medicare Guidelines, Medicare only covers back and Knee braces that are deemed medically necessary.
Fraudsters are hoping to get your Medicare number so they can bill Medicare part B for equipment you did not receive, or bill for more expensive braces or knee support systems.
If you received such postcard as seen below, please report them to the Tennessee Senior Medicare Patrol at the toll-free number at 1-866-836-7677.
