Have you booked for the Annual General Meeting?
This year we have been granted free use of the Public Works
conference facilities so it will be a comfortable and wellequipped venue with easy access.
The social time afterwards over a catered light lunch will
provide time to chat with the newly elected management committee and
fellow members. To ensure adequate catering, please book either through
the online store, or by email to [email protected] or by calling our city office
on 3210 6983. Don’t forget to bring your membership card. Only current
members are eligible to attend.
There has been no change to our city accommodation situation.
Marilyn Hooper continues to investigate leads and suggestions but to date
we have not found an affordable alternative. We would expect to have at
least a full year’s notice if and when we are required to vacate Harris
Terrace.
We are seeing a strong interest from new members wanting to learn
how to use iPads and Android tablets. Please let your hub coordinator
know if you can offer assistance to new learners of this technology. A new
Windows operating system (Windows 8) will also be hitting the shelves
next month, which will apparently mean big changes for Microsoft users
who make the switch, or purchase new equipment with this version preinstalled. We will be planning training opportunities for our volunteers to
become familiar with this new release.

From the Editor
BSOL October Happenings
Once again, this edition of ‘News and Views’ reflects the very diverse
activities that go on within BSOL.
Our clubs continue to be active, and this year has seen the addition of
a new one—the Apple Group, full of i-enthusiasts. Our training activities have expanded to include regular mentor training sessions, and
this month a session on testamentary matters: particularly how our
involvement in technology should be taken into account when making
our wills. On the management front, Peter Glen starts explaining
BSOL’s insurance arrangements; Julie Vejle’s report on publicity evidences the ever-widening involvement of our members in this area.
Probably the most significant article in this edition is Dr Beverley
Head’s account of current research into dementia, and how continued
involvement in the digital world can reduce the risk of developing dementia. I’d also like to draw your attention to the letter on page 6,
where several key agencies have joined forces to warn us about the
dangers of scamming.
Thanks to all our contributors. Never hesitate to contact us if you’d like
to be one of them.

Digital Photography
Club
Seventeen members
attended the September
meeting. Our topic was
night time photography,
with these tips from
professional
photographer Stan
Bowles: a solid tripod is
essential; there’s a distinction between
‘blue light’ (the hour after sunset) and
‘after dark’; and always wait for the sun to
set before taking a night shot. We
discussed some of his photos, and some
of ours; he suggested exploring the
website www.photoextremist.com.
Dick Bennett advised that the
Brisbane Camera Group was leading a
free walk through the City of Lights
display at Southbank on the following
Saturday evening to provide guidance to
photographers;
members were
invited to participate
and to respond
directly to Dick.
Next month
we opted to have a
demonstration of
Photoshop Elements; some members
with digital SLR cameras would also like
a session to learn more about getting the
best out of them. Members thanked Stan
for once again sharing his time and
expertise with the group.
Anyone interested in joining the group
should contact convener Brian Rice:

ESTATE PLANNING IN THE COMPUTER
AGE
The Mentor Support Club saw the need –
now here’s the training! On Tuesday 30
October at 10.30am John O’Brien from
the Public Trustee will offer a session on
Wills, Power of Attorney etc, plus a tailored session for BSOL members on
technology and intellectual property
issues: such as computer passwords,
online purchases like iTunes and music
(legal ownership after death); security and
access to personal information on social
media; computer access after death by
relatives and estate administrators, and
how your intentions should be documented.
All seniors need to deal with these matters, and BSOL is fortunate that Dick Bennett has moved quickly to organise this
important event. Book with the on-line
shop.
Video Club
About 14 attended our 17 September meeting. I kept the ship on
course whilst Fred and Ester were
sailing the Pacific Ocean.
Members’ project was to
make an approx three-minute movie
and insert various transitions. We
watched some interesting, and a
couple of weird, ones. We suggest
that if you do include transitions in
your movies or video clips do not
use more than two or three. Also
they should not be so “gimmicky” as
to annoy people’s eyes. The most
common one I use is “Fade to
Black”.
We discussed: upload and
download speeds which take quite
different times; use of our Cloud
that Fred set up, the BSOLutions
movie Fred made.
Some members wanted to
know how to copy music from CDs
for their own personal use, so I
demonstrated the use of CDEX to
“rip” the music data. I have suggested that we should demonstrate how
to convert various video formats to
other formats. This is important
when one needs to send a video
clip in an email, YouTube, the
Cloud etc. AVI, MPEG1 and 2 and
others are very big so must be converted to MP4, FLV, Divx format
etc. The most popular application to
do this is Format Factory but there
are many others.
Format
Factory will convert sound/ music
and video in batch
mode. This
means that one can get it to convert
many files of different formats to a
format and switch off the PC/laptop
computer when finished. Be aware
that depending on the file sizes
being converted could take hours
so having the PC switched off
saves power. It is not OSS (Open
Source Software) but Copyright
which they are happy to have distributed. The download site URL is

including commercial applications.”
John D’Alton
Mentor Support Club
The
September meeting was attended by
18 members – another quiet month.
The meeting commenced with its
regular agenda of problems
experienced by mentors and other
items of interest. Items discussed were:
Photos emailed from an iPad or iPhone
appear up- side-down when received
on a PC;
Bluetooth signals from phones in cars
now being used to track traffic
congestion;
To get rid of Incredimail you must use
the Incredimail Uninstaller from their
web site;
Scammers are now using Skype to
contact you; you receive a message
requesting a video conversation;
Use of 'top up' cards to limit your
liability on the internet - Woolworths or
ANZ Seniors;
Using an on-screen keyboard to enter
credit card numbers to avoid key stroke
loggers, or entering the card number
incorrectly and correcting it with the
mouse;
The Google 'redirect virus' is very bad;
you should download the removal tool
to a USB stick to be ready just in case
Problems of Windows 8 - particularly
for desktop computers.
Under New Technology , the discussion
centred on making wills in the digital
age. You need to plan ahead to ensure
all accounts (e.g. Facebook) will be
closed and all digital records securely
archived by your executors or
destroyed. This means an up-to-date
list of passwords and access codes
should be part of your will along with
appropriate instructions to your
executors. If this is not handled
correctly and quickly it provides an
opportunity for identity theft. BSOL will
approach the Public Trustee to give a
training session on this.
Finally Michel showed a video about
sensing hand gestures to control a
computer.

Out and About in the Community
September was relatively quiet with only six events, compared to August, with Seniors Week and 11 events.
Kevin Brown, Michel le Riche and Brian Korner presented BSOL to various community groups. Ben Munford held East Hub's
monthly Seniors Clinic. Lurline Slater and Simon Mooney spoke about 'All Things Apple' to Bayside Hub members at the first
of their planned bi-monthly meetings.
The Mount Ommaney Q&A session was presented by Nick Pagonis with the regular Q&A team of Richard Allen, Simon
Mooney and myself, plus some local mentors, as support. These Q&A sessions (and IT sales figures in general) are showing
an upward trend towards iPads, with a definite downward trend in all PC purchases. Go to:http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/07/

REDUCING DEMENTIA
Regular use of computers appears to reduce the
incidence of dementia by up to 40 per cent according to a major study of more than 5,000 men aged
69-87, conducted in Western Australia over the last
eight years.
Osvaldo Almeida, from the Western Australian Centre
for Health and Ageing based at the University of Western Australia, and the lead investigator on the project,
said that while there has been evidence that linked
higher levels of education and mental activity with lower
rates of dementia, this survey points to a similar link
between computer use and dementia.
of older men. Either way the signs are positive.
While Prof Almeida said that the results suggested
there would be merit in optimising access to computers
for old people at a community level, the report notes
that technology is already finding its way into the demographic.
The report cites statistics showing that in Australia 47
per cent of people over 60 had access to computers in
2009 – which represented a significant jump on the 29
per cent of older Australians with computer access in
2003.

Email Etiquette
Have you ever gone to a bit of effort to send someone an
email but you never get a response? You don’t really know if
they received it, or you start thinking that it may have upset
them for some reason.
Each month I report on the activities in
the Hubs and September has proved
both successful in terms of new
members and the promotion of BSOL.
Seniors Week this year has given our Hub Coordinators an
opportunity to promote BSOL at various expos, guest
speaker engagements and Library Q&As. As a result most
hubs are busy signing up new members and Hub Liaison
would like to welcome those new members who are reading
this newsletter for the first time.
Following on from last month, we are grateful to hear
that Marie Halliday, our North East Hub Coordinator has
recovered enough from her stay in hospital to return home
but it will be some time before she is ready to pick up the
reins again. In the meantime, David Curtis and other
mentors in her hub are keeping the home tutoring and the
classes running.
Like everyone else our Hub Coordinators need to
take holidays from time to time and although we seem to be
able to find someone to fill the role, it is always an uncertain
time. Hub Liaison would like mentors to think about
approaching their Hub Coordinator with the view of offering
their services during such times in the future.
By the time this newsletter goes to print, the AGM
listed for October 10, 2012 will be imminent. I would like to
encourage members to attend where possible and play your
part in the future planning of this unique organisation. So
don’t forget to register your intention to attend.
Marilyn Hooper
Reducing Dementia (Continued from page 3)
“It is the interaction that has been very positive,” he
noted.
Asked how often older people should use computers
in order to benefit Prof Almeida said it was not possible to be prescriptive about how long someone needed to spend on a computer in order to potentially benefit. However he noted that: “A healthy lifestyle is a
balanced lifestyle, we also want people to be physically active.”

BSOL AND INSURANCE
The BSOL Management Committee often receives
queries about the ambit of its insurance. Member Peter
Glen has taken on the herculean task of explaining this
issue to our members.
This is the first of a series of ‘questions and answers’
he has compiled on the issue of BSOL’s insurance
policies, working with BSOL’s insurance broker whose
responses are quoted in the answers provided here.
Further information can be found on: http://

Switching to Mac
(Who moved my
cheese?)
The switch began in late
June when I attended the All
Things Apple lecture, presented by BSOL Apple
Group convener Simon
Mooney. I was impressed with the simplicity of synchronising all my data across multiple devices. In late August
I purchased my first Apple product; a MacBook Air.
I never understood the whole PC debate surrounding
Windows versus Apple. So after many years muddling
along on a clunky old Windows XP desktop, a borrowed
laptop running Vista, and Windows 7 netbook loaner, I
was ready to discover the differences first hand.
Well I've been absolutely blown away by this brilliant little
Mac; its design, simple to use operating system, the
depth of the included applications, plus set and forget
automatic backups.
: Is BSOL insurance cover only about personal injury –
or is equipment also included.?
A: There are two policies that are current. These are: Voluntary Workers Personal Accident and a Business
Insurance policy. The Voluntary Workers Personal Accident
is about personal injury to voluntary workers and the
Business Policy provides cover for Material Damage to
equipment (Fire & Burglary and Machinery Breakdown
sections) and Public Liability in relation to the activities of
Brisbane Seniors Online Inc.
Note by PG: The above refers to BSOL equipment only –
member's’ own private equipment is not covered. The
broker goes on to say that:: They may have some cover
under their own Home Contents insurance depending on
the strength of the wording provided by their insurer.
Peter will explore more insurance issues in future editions
of BSOL’s News and Views.
My Apple journey has been and continues to be, a joyous
experience. It's rather like driving a sports car as opposed
to handling a truck. Using nothing but trackpad gestures
and keyboard shortcuts is so utterly liberating.
I've moved my own cheese (or goalposts) in a big way.
Yet I managed to adapt quickly with the help of my expert
mentor. It’s simply about adapting to change, shedding
old habits, and adopting new ones.
My digital world is still disjointed; my cloud is not yet fully
formed.
I intend rectifying this situation very soon when I take my
next big leap forward. I will ditch my dumb phone in favour of a brand new iPhone 5, and perhaps an iPad mini
in the near future, and finally having everything everywhere.

Modern Technology on the Fly
I was visiting my son and daughter

could borrow a newspaper.
'This is the 21st century, old man,'
my son said. 'We don't waste
money on newspapers. Here, you
can borrow my iPad.'

Dear Householder
The Australia Crime Commission Board has recently warned that organised criminal groups re targeting the savings of Australians through investment frauds. Many Australians, including experienced investors who undertake
research, have lost their entire retirement savings to these investment frauds.
Law enforcement advises that the criminals offering these investment opportunities use persuasive cold-calling
tactics, sophisticated websites and legitimate-looking brochures,
Australia Post is partnering with the Australian Crime Commission, the Australian Securities & Investments Commission and every state and territory police force in the country to further raise awareness of these investment
frauds and provide information on how to prevent becoming a victim. Please be aware of this risk if you are called
at random by someone offering an unsolicited investment opportunity. To protect yourself you can:
Visit www.moneysmart.gov.au or call 1300 300 630 for further information or advice.
Alert your family and friends to these investment frauds, especially those who may have savings to invest.
Report suspected investment frauds to the Australian Securities & Investments Commission, via
www.moneysmart.gov.au or 1300 300 630, or your local police. Any information that can be provided such as company name, location and contact details will assist with subsequent investigations and enquiries.
Hang up on unsolicited telephone calls offering investments.
Check any company you are discussing investments with has a valid Australian Financial Services Licence at
www.moneysmart.gov.au.
Seek independent financial advice before making an investment.
Protect your mail by installing the right sized letterbox for the volume of mail you receive and also by fitting a lock
to your letterbox to deter would-be-thieves. It is also a good idea to arrange for someone to clear your mail for you
when you go on holidays or take advantage of Australia Post’s Mail Holding Service.
Please be wary of anyone who claims they can recover your losses for a fee – no legitimate Australia law enforcement or regulatory agency will seek a payment for this action. Victim support in Queensland is available through
the Survivors of Financial Crime Support Group on (07) 3364 6622. This group is coordinated through the Fraud
and Corporate Crime Group, Queensland Police Service, to assist and provide support to victims of these types of
offences.
PROPHETIC STATEMENTS
FROM THE WISE ....
There may have been geniuses at work here, but their
crystal balls must have been a bit dusty on the day ...

Man will never reach the moon regardless of all
future scientific advances. (Dr. Lee DeForest, father
of radio and grandfather of television.)

The bomb will never go off. I speak as an expert in
explosives. ( Admiral William Leahy , US Atomic
Bomb Project)

There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power
of the atom. ( Robert Millikan, Nobel Prize in Physics, 1923)

Computers in the future may weigh no more than
1.5 tons. (Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of science, 1949)

I think there is a world market for maybe five computers. (Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943)
Our AGM will be held on Wednesday 10
October in the Conference Room of the
Department of Public Works behind our
Harris Terrace premises at 80 George
Street, starting at 11am.
A light lunch will follow the meeting. We
need to know numbers for catering
purposes: please book your place through
the on-line store.
This is your chance to find out more about
what BSOL has been doing over the past 12
months, and what’s planned for the coming
year.—and to ask questions and to have
your say.
Can we help each other?
Have you used Microsoft Publisher? Would you
like to improve your skills? And learn some very
handy tricks of the trade?
DOES THIS COUNT AS A
‘SENIORS’ MOMENT?’
I was with a one of my learners recently, booking an airline ticket. We had been through a similar
rigmarole, successfully, a few weeks before with anther booking. Anyway, we trolled through the:- " from,
to, when, how many, extras" and so on.
Came to the sharp end - personal details and
payment. Some personal details had to be edited to
put capital letters in their right place but not earth
shattering. Came to credit card details. The name on
the card was easy, entered from memory. The card
number was not -- "hE0L h586 hTTL xxxx".
Not surprisingly, it was not accepted. The owner of the card had not noticed the "W" in the Westpac
logo had become an "M"!
Richard Allen
Editor’s note: It seems it is all too easy—in
a senior moment—to hold a credit card
upside down. This may not immediately be
apparent as the card number might still
appear to be valid. Try it! - or not?
The BSOL Newsletter team can provide
mentoring in Publisher for volunteers who could skill
up to join the team in 2013.
If you’re interested, please get in touch: email
[email protected] , and we’ll fill you in on the details.
WEBSITE CHANGES
Questions frequently arise regarding the nature and extent of
the insurance cover which BSOL carries. Our thanks go to
committee member Peter Glen who has taken on the arduous
task of trying to clarify the situation so that our members can
now get a clearer idea of what our policies cover.
Elsewhere in this newsletter you’ll find the first in a series of
brief articles from Peter where he sets out to answer some of
the more commonly-asked questions about our insurance
policies. Other questions will appear in future editions.
In the meantime, we have put the full details of our two key
policies on the website, where they can be downloaded
as .pdf files from the Members’ Documents page at: http://
