A graphic artist living in Germany works from home. His wife leaves their baby girl with him each day as she goes off to work. A few months ago, he got tired of her texting to check on how he was doing with the baby. So he started photoshopping responses to text back to her, and it has become a worldwide Instagram sensation. Here are a few of them.
Art has made some notes on a page from a Zoom meeting to help you learn where different functions are and how to use them on a computer. Most of the same functions are available on a tablet, and many even on a phone, but they are in different places. Look around for them.
One secret to doing digital stuff is to be sure you look around the entire screen: top, corners, sides, bottom. Some things appear only when you scroll over them, whether with a mouse or a finger. Don’t be afraid to play around a bit (at least before a meeting starts). Hope this helps.

The KoH residents Computer Committee distributed a survey to residents on January 18 and has received and tallied responses from 140 residents.
Of those responding, all but two had one or more digital devices, whether computers, tablets, or smartphones. They reported many diverse needs for assistance, and the Committee is working on how to help.
Their first planned event is a Workshop on using MS Word for writing and editing on Friday, February 19, 2-3 pm on Zoom. Watch this website and Spotlight for details on this and future resources.

At least one resident here at KoH has received two telephone calls where the caller said they were from Amazon Prime and wanted to alert them that $200 had just been charged to their Amazon account. If that charge was in error, the recipient of the call should push 1 (or some number) on the phone. The resident did not push anything but hung up and a bit later checked their Amazon account from their computer. Needless to say, in neither case was such a charge listed in their account. Those examples convinced the resident that the caller was “phishing” for information from them and that the call was bogus. Hence this posting to alert others who might receive such calls.
On Sunday, January 24, 2021, at 2:00 p.m. the Irvington Historical Society will be presenting “The Old Croton Aqueduct in Westchester County,” a Zoom presentation by Tom Tarnowsky. If you have not done so already, you can register for this talk at: https://forms.gle/DMfnD5whkW5VJHZ67

In the pandemic (which was decades after the fact) the name Milt Margolies was still a flashpoint for the Sandler sisters.
