Posted February 16, 2019 1 hour ago, Sapphire said: Many older gentlemen aren't real tech savvy That statement feels like a slap in the face to us more mature gentlemen. We may not be computer programmers or trouble shooters, but most of us know our way around a computer and how to use it and not leave traces that are easily tracked. Afterall, we do have to use computers at work and in our daily lives. This is the second comment in the past week putting down people over 40. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am speaking in general and not to anyone specifically. good bye It’s not that I’m sensitive, it’s that you said “many older gentlemen aren’t real tech savvy”. That statement is a put down of a an age class. And the fact you can’t see it shows the level of your maturity. Goodbye 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 17, 2019 I'm insulted! When did being over 40 put me in the older class? I thought 40 was the new 20. Damn do I have to sign up for the senior center computer class now? My Apple II and 2500 baud modem still let me visit this site albeit slowly, but I have to be sneaky cause AOL does try to block it 😂🤣😃😅 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"We could argue that the first computer was the abacus or its descendant, the slide rule, invented by William Oughtred in 1622. But the first computer resembling today's modern machines was the Analytical Engine, a device conceived and designed by British mathematician Charles Babbage between 1833 and 1871." Babbage was born 1791 so would make him 42 years of age in 1833. __________________________________The Great & Powerful Woz..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 19, 2019 Winding back several tangents... The best security is to make a DIFFERENT USER on your computer. Both Windows and MacOS allow you to easily create different users. This way you have totally separate browsing history, email, etc. Keep it 100% separate. Now if you have a wife or someone who regularly uses your computer, they will notice when the new "Mr Horny" user shows up on the login screen. But if they usually don't use your computer, you can name the user "Joe" and say "oh that was my cousin who came to visit last year". You can also disable that user when you're not using it, and it should disappear from the login screen. Security is easy if you keep it all separate ... separate user, separate phone, separate email, separate facebook, etc. Zero connections. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No way I would put my sporting information on my home computer - I put my trust in entirely separate machines. No need to complicate life when a $29.95 Smartphone will serve as a perfectly adequate sporting computer. (But, what the heck would I know, I am way over 40!)
