More rainy days. Big yellow busses carting kids off to school. Twilight is arriving earlier. I think Autumn is officially here.
As a GNU/Linux user, I must confess that our last meeting brought warm feeling to my heart. Joel Carlson gave a presentation
about Linux Mint – a free and easy to use operating system alternative to Microsoft Windows. This is a great option for those
who want to run something other than Windows for their computer, from the latest 64-bit PC to older 32-bit Pentium systems. It
is also a good distribution for someone new to Linux to get acquainted. By using the Live-CD, anyone can test-drive Linux Mint
on a computer and experiment with it without changing the current software on their hard drive. And, of course, our GNU/Linux
SIG meets every 2nd Tuesday for those who have questions about Linux. Thanks to Joel for that great presentation.
But let's not also forget that OMUG is here to provide current and new opportunities to share and learn for those of us who wish
to learn and get more out of our Windows and iMac systems, as well as other computing devices such as tablets, and
smartphones. We've had great presentations for these systems, as well as other computing-related topics and will continue to
do so through the rest of the year.
And it won't be long until the OMUG Christmas Dinner will be upon us as well. Stay tuned for more...
General Meeting, Education Session
October 9th th C. Daniel from Intercity Transit will show us how to
plan public transportation trips using our computing devices. There
will be a demo of planning a trip to Everett.
Invite a friend; You will be amazed at what is available!

10 Tips for Online Shopping Safety
By Sandy Berger, CompuKISS
www.compukiss.com
sandy (at) compukiss.com
Amazingly, in today's topsy-turvy world, because of vulnerabilities in the processing of credit and debit cards used at retail stores
and the hackers who are focusing on those vulnerabilities, right now shopping online can actually be safer than swiping your
card at a local store. For safety sake, however, there are a few online shopping rules that you should follow.
1. The first of these is to always have a good antivirus program installed on your computer and to update your antivirus program
and other software like the operating system whenever an update is available. When in doubt, don't click on links. This is especially true of email where phishing schemes are prevalent, but you should also be careful when you are surfing the Web or visiting social media websites.
2. Shop at trusted, established websites. Don't use any sites that you've never heard of. If you want to try a new website, check
to see if any friends or acquaintances have used it successfully.
3. Pay only through secure sites. Typically the address in your browser will change from "http:" to "https:" during a secure connection.
4. Never email your credit card number, social security number, or personal information to anyone. No reputable seller will request it by email since email is not secure.
5. Do your banking and shopping from home where you are on your own secure network. Wi-Fi hotspots at local coffee shops
and other establishments usually do not offer enough protection unless the user takes some added precautions, which can be
cumbersome for the average user.
6. Create strong passwords consisting of numbers, letters, and symbols. Do not use words or names. Make the password for
each banking and shopping site unique. Keep your passwords private.
7. Credit cards are generally the safest option for shopping online. When using a credit card, you have limited liability and the
ability to have the credit card company intervene if something goes awry. Debit cards can also be a good choice as long as you
have investigated their liability limits, which may be higher than those of credit cards.
8. Keep a paper trail. Let's face it, none of us have perfect memories. Print and save records of your online transactions, including the name of the seller, product description, price, and date of purchase. Most reputable merchants allow you to print a receipt after the transaction is complete. You can use these printed receipts to compare to your bank and credit card statements.
9. Monitor your bank accounts and credit card purchases regularly. Report any discrepancies or unusual charges to your financial institution immediately.
10. Your social security number is the key to your identity. Be miserly about sharing it with anyone, especially online. No reputable merchant will ever ask for your social security number to make a purchase.
Credit card theft is pretty easy to get through. Usually you notify your financial institution and they issue you a new card. Identity
theft is much more difficult to handle because a thief can open lines of credit in your name, buy a car, and obtain new credit
cards. In order to steal your identity, the thieve needs personal information like social security number, address, phone number
and financial information. So be careful when giving out any such information.
Many financial experts say that having your bills sent to you electronically and paying them electronically is safer than sending
and receiving them by mail. They also recommend shredding paper documents with personal information. So whether you use a
credit card at a physical store, you shop and pay bills online, or you pay bills by mail, the key word is "caution." Our mothers
taught us to watch our wallets and keep the doors closed. Now we have a lot more convenience, and also a lot more to watch
out for.

A New Android Tablet — Now What?
By Phil Sorrentino, Staff Writer, The Computer Club, Inc., Sun City Center, FL
May 2014 issue, The Journal
www.scccomputerclub.org/
philsorr (at) yahoo.com
You just got a new Android tablet. (Isn’t the look of a brand new tablet wonderful, it is so shiny and lacking
finger prints.) But fingerprints are a good thing, since they are a byproduct of using the touch enabled
screen; so the more finger prints, the more use. If the fingerprints eventually become annoying, you can
always clean them with a soft micro-fiber cloth.) Now, if the tablet is brand new, when you turn it on it will
probably take you through a few set up steps. These steps are usually also explained in a brief Quick Start
Guide that is included in the package. For more detailed information and instruction go to the manufacturer’s website and look for a “Support” or “Documents” page for your specific tablet model and download the
User Manual, if there is one. If the tablet is not brand new, maybe a hand-me-up from one of your kids or
grandchildren, you may also want to get a User Manual and change some of these general settings.
Typically the first things to set up are very basic, such as Language and Time Zone. After these, the most
important thing to do is to get the tablet onto the internet. All tablets have Wi-Fi circuitry, so if you have WiFi at home, you are set. (If you don’t have Wi-Fi at home, the tablet will still be useful for watching videos,
showing pictures, playing games, and listening to music. And you can always use one of the many free
public Wi-Fi hot spots at locations like a Library or Starbucks.) Once you are in a Wi-Fi area, all you need
to do is key in the password or passphrase for the network if it is protected. (Hopefully, that makes sense
to you because you have protected your home network with WEP, WPA2 or WPA2 security.) Once you
have connected to Wi-Fi, you will be able to go to the “Google Play Store”, where you can download all
those useful Apps and games. If your tablet is new, it will probably instruct you to either setup a Google
account, or it will ask you to log-in to your Google account. Having a Google account allows you to synchronize files and certain Apps so that you have the same information available to your tablet and your
home computer.
After your Google account is set up, there are a few operational things that you might like to modify. None
of these are absolutely necessary, but I find setting them to my preferences is helpful. Most of these things
will be found in “Settings”, so the first thing is to find the “Settings” icon and place it on a Home Screen (if it
is not there already). The Settings icon may be found in the “All Apps” collection. The “All Apps” collection
is accessed by an icon, typically at the top of the screen that looks like a small rectangular collection of
smaller squares, possibly four, or six, or nine.
All Apps Icon
Tap this icon and an alphabetical listing of all the Apps on your tablet will be shown. The “Settings” icon
typically looks like a square with three lines and dots within the square, or a gear. There are probably multiple screens of Apps so you may have to flick the screen to the left to uncover all the Apps. When you find
the “Settings” icon, “tap and hold” the icon and it will be selected. When you release it, it will then be
placed on a screen. Now you can access the Settings by tapping the Settings icon whenever you want to
review or change a setting.

OMUG Fee or Free Table
By Joel
Carlson
We now have a free or fee table where
members can display computer related items
to share.
A+Computers, http://APlusRebuilders.com, has donated parts to get
it started. Members may bring parts to sell . Any payments go
directly to the person who brought the item.
The next TAPCUG Linux SIG meeting is Oct 28, 2014 (4th
Tuesday) 5:30 PM at the SE Tacoma Community Center
1614 99th St E, Tacoma, WA 98445. The next OMUG Linux
SIG meeting at the Olympia Center is Oct 14, 2014 7 PM
(2nd Tuesday), see http://olymug.org .
Any items not taken home at the end of the meeting will be
collected for next time by Joel Carlson or to be recycled at
A+ Computers.
We have three major computer systems today: Windows
which is based on DOS, Apple's OS X which is based on
XNU which was derived from open source FreeBSD
(Windows and Mac are closed proprietary systems). Linux,
which is based on the Linux kernel and unlike the first two,
is basically free and open source. Companies make money
from the packaging and support of Linux. Linux is much
more secure because its roots are from Unix, a serious
business multiuser system. Linux has extra built in security
such as Netfilter and IPTables which makes your system
rock solid and secure.
If you have large quantities of items such as a truckload, take them
direct to A+ Computers, 2724 Pacific Ave E, Olympia, WA
98501 (exit 107 North off I-5; just a short distance on the
right). 360-754-1311.
Linux was created by Linus Torvalds in 1991 because he
wanted a better desktop operating system. Ironically, it has
totally dominated everywhere else from supercomputers, to
servers, chromebooks and your smart phone but
monopolies have so far mostly kept it off computers you can
buy until now. With Windows XP ending April 8, 2014,
Windows 7 ending Jan 13, 2015, the failure of Windows 8,
the extremely high prices of Apple products which only work
with other Apple products and the fact that Linux is so much
more secure, it is time to switch to Linux including Linux
Mint KDE or a Chromebook. Linux Mint is the number four
operating system in the world! Download and try it for free.
Install if you like it. We also have DVD's at meetings. You
convert easily and save lots of money! A+ Computers sells
Linux computers along with other proprietary computers.
ARM processor Chromebooks are top sellers at Amazon,
Best Buy, Office Depot, etc. for around $200.
The Olympia Microcomputer Users Group (OMUG)
has been helping computer users since 1987. The group meets on
the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm at the Olympia
Center, 222 Columbia Street NW, Olympia.
Group meetings are open to all computer enthusiasts.
We will review Linux Mint KDE, Kubuntu 14.04, Bodhi 3.0 rc,
gsmartcontrol for hard drives, Light beam, Google Hangout
phone capability, Gnuradio.org, gpg, putty, hoopla, gufw,
Google hangout, Kdenlive, record it now, Wikitree
genealogy, Gedcom files, Gramps genealogy software,
Pixel Qi screens, Remastersys and mesh networks, dual
booting Linux on a Windows 8 computer (or just buying a
Linux computer), clementine, audacity, firefox os, Openwrt,
owncloud, youtube-dl, BIOS replacements including UEFI,
Coreboot, Open bios, Plop, flashroom. new Linux computers
including the Acer Tegra K1 64 bit quad core ARM
Chromebook and blocking screen ads. We also plan to
connect other persons computers to the projector so they
can demonstrate what they are using. For details, see

Linux SIG
OMUG Lunch
Bunch
Leader: John Wickliffe
The Linux SIG meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm
at the Olympia Center, 222 Columbia Street NW. Our format will
show you how to use Point & Click Linux interfaces like Ubuntu.
Our goal is to have fun, learn more about Linux, and in the process
learn to respect all operating systems.
You may decide you can’t live without your own Linux machine, or
you can boot both Windows & Linux. If you want to know more
about the “innards” of Linux, we’re learning that, too.
You’ll feel right at home. Come & and See!
OMUG
This social interest
group is a gathering of fellow OMUGers who just want to spend
some quality time getting to know each other. They also enjoy
the freedom to discuss the world of personal computing,
OMUG, world politics and the current plight of the stock market.
As former member Loren Freeman used to say, we’re at the
picket fence of OMUG.
The OMUG Lunch Bunch will continue to meet the 4th Tuesday
each month at 11:30 a.m. at El Sarape Restaurant, 1200
Cooper Point Road near Staples in West Olympia.
