The computers were installed in November and we now have internet access at the Center. This will provide an opportunity for seniors to send and receive e-mail, access Social Security and other websites, look up information and conduct personal business on-line.  It literally opens up a whole new world! In addition, our computers can be customized to accommodate people with impaired vision.
During March, you can sign up for a half-hour "one-on-one" session with a computer-literate volunteer at the following times:
Mondays: 1:00 to 2:00
Tuesdays (except first Tuesday): 10:00 to 12:00
Wednesdays: 1:00 to 2:00
Thursdays: 12:30 to 2:30
Fridays: 10:00 to 12:00
To sign up, call the Bugbee Senior Center at 802-295-9068. There is no charge for this program.
  While the focus is primarily related to learning to send e-mail and use the internet, if you have other computer questions, our volunteers can probably help you.
When the computers are not being used for instruction, they are available for individual use.

If you operate a computer, chances are that sooner or later you will be the victim of a hoax, no matter how skeptical or savvy you think you may be.  Very often, the hoax will come in the form of a message about a virus and will have been sent to you by a close friend who has been duped.  The message always includes the assurance that "this is not a hoax".
  There are many hoaxes out there, and some of them are as troublesome as an actual virus because they convince the victim to delete files that they may actually need.
If you get a message that you may have received a virus via email, before you go any further, check it out at one of the following websites:
