Re: Hi everybody. How's the sprouting going?

[Guest guest]

I don't have anything sensitive on my tablet. I only go to my forums. I will do

NO banking business or any purchases.

And I do know the person who is letting me use her wi fi. She lives upstairs and

I've known her for 17 years.

So that part is fine. I will eventually get my own router but right now I'm just

learning.

Never thought I could do this at my age. It's surprising when we learn that we

can do ANYTHING!!!

> Just be aware that when you use someone else's wifi and it is unsecured, that

it provides a means for others to get into your personal information that you

haveon your tablet.   I do sometimes do that but have had problems once when I

did.  On your own wifi, that is different so long as you have a good

password.  Just be aware of that.  Would be better if you knew whose you were

using and got an okay but only if they gave you a password and they kept it

secure.  Do you know someone whose wifi you are picking up?  See if they will

let you use it or pay $5-10 a month for use.  You can use wifi at hotels and

Panera Bread, some Mc's, libraries, etc.  but with the same risk.  I

have gone to Panera's in Michigan as can not get a phone line there as it is

long distance.  Same in Arkansas.  I can get out on my iphone through the AT & T

network which is direct.  i don't know if there is any risk there or not.

ot things, including a directive to her investment company to transfer a bunch

of money to a foreign account (they contacted her to see if it was legitimate)

and sent info to her contacts and then deleted her contacts.  I saw the message

on Facebook. My iphone doesn'twork to well on Facebook. I have a G3.  My

husband has a Kindle Fire and can do email on that as well as have books on

it.  We have our scriptures on my iphone and on hi Kindle.  Nice we don't have

to carry heavy books to church as we are too old to carry heavy stuff.  Do have

to wear glasses to see the words.

> Good luck with your tablet.  It will be handy when you travel.  Can keep in

touch.  Never use a debit card on line for purchases, only use credit card.  

Can then cancel it and with debit they take it out of your account and you have

to wait a long time to manage to get it back. My acquaintance has no clue how

someone got into her computer from outside.

> Let me tell you something. Thank god I have sprouting to de-stress me. Do you

know how hard it is to learn Tablet Technology when you ONLY know computers and

using a mouse. I don't own a smart phone, I don't text. I just have a nice

computer, a nice keyboard and a mouse and I do just fine. But our future will be

all wi fi so I know I have to learn it. Well, I got such a headache from trying

to learn to do Tablets that I walked over to my sprout garden, looked at all the

green stuff growing and just smiled.
