SBCC Users Group Meeting
Last month Apple expert Diane Lineback returned to SaddleBrooke and spoke to a packed house at our Users Group meeting. Her topic: Adapting the iPhone/iPad as We Age. If you missed it, a video replay will soon be on the eLearn section of our website, which is accessible for all SaddleBrooke Computer Club members at saddlebrookecc.org. Just select Enrollment > eLearn.
Help! My Computer Has a Problem
This has to sound familiar to everyone who has ever owned a computer. The solution: Come to our next Users Group meeting where local area computer and software repair companies will make a brief presentation about their backgrounds, expertise and what types of services they offer. The meeting this month is scheduled for February 6 at 1:00 p.m. in the HOA 2 Clubhouse, West Ballroom. Yes, this is earlier than usual, dictated by venue availability.

Did You Know—
The Internet of Things (IoT) just keeps coming out with more and more stuff for the smart home. Some make a lot of sense, like the smart thermostat, smart door locks, smart outlets you can turn on with a voice command.
And then there’s the smart trash can. Yes, your garbage can will now connect to your in-home WiFi—Hey you can’t make this stuff up.
What does it do? It will scan barcodes on the food packages you throw away and automatically add it to your shopping list. It can also automatically order replacements through Amazon Dash and your groceries will show up at your door without you ever having to lift a finger.
Did I mention it only costs $125?
