For the Mobile User, you may have added a new laptop or netbook computer to your network. When adding a second computer to your network, you will have a router. This will allow your internet connection to be shared to all of your computer(s). You may think it is really awesome to have more than one portal to the internet to help with sharing your computer with others in your family or business. When you have more than one computer accessing the internet, you can also have your computers access files and printers on your network. This means that files on your desktop computer can be accessed by your laptop or netbook computer. If you can share application data files, you can share your music, videos, and pictures with everyone on your network. If you have a cellular phone, mp3 player or other device, you can download music, videos, pictures, and other data to your devices. You can also share your printer on your desktop computer to have your laptop or netbook computer print to your printer on the desktop computer. This avoids additional printers, ink cartridges, and maintenance too. If you have a netbook computer that does not have a DVD/RW drive in it to load software, you can share your DVD/RW drive on your desktop computer to allow you to install software on your netbook computer through your network. That external hard disk drive that you have on your desktop computer as additional storage can be a backup device for your laptop, netbook and mobile devices too.

The February meeting of the Pecatonica Historical Society will be held at the Pecatonica Public Library at 7 pm on Monday, Februry 15. This meeting is everyone's favorite, the Appraisal Night. Once again, history enthusiasts and collectors can have one of their treasures or pieces of "junk" appraised for one single dollar. (There have been no price increases for several years.) The Hachmeister team will once again share their knowledge for an entertaining evening. The agenda for the meeting preceding the appraisal will feature the election of two officers and a board member. The meeting is open to anyone in the community and we would like to have some of the inactive Life members stop by for a visit.
