I hope/trust the vast majority of people on this list
are planning to be at the NewTLUG meeting next
Tuesday. For those not planning to learn about the
wonders of the BASH shell program here another
possible option for next Tuesday that I was asked to
forward on to this group...

Society of Internet Professionals' event and

You are all cordially invited to the Society of
Internet Professional’s event about Identity Theft on

Professional (AIP) designation.

Identity Theft: How you can prevent it
Join us to learn from Experts and Network with your
Peers

Identity theft is emerging as the most rapidly growing
crime of the 21st century. According to a recent
survey conducted by Deloitte, one in five respondents
has been the victim of identity fraud or theft.  The
threat is increasing significantly, and methods of
identity theft are becoming more sophisticated every
year.

SIP has assembled a panel, the knowledge and insight
of the speakers, will interest you, as a corporation
or as an individual to detect, manage and prevent
identity theft.

Protection from Identity Theft on Feb 28, 2006

Hope to see you there. Some of you may also have heard
of the next project.

Innovation..Toronto reSource Project is in need of
computer donations and willing customers.

The reSource Project is a recycling/ training project
of Innovation Toronto and is part of an ongoing series
of events to support community projects. 

Please check www.reSourceproject.org  for details.
Innovation Toronto is the umbrella organization for 2
charities working to aid social innovation in the
Greater Toronto Area.

The project has three components:

a)     Collection component: The project accepts
donations of gently used still working computer
technology. The items can be dropped off at 169
Eastern Ave, Toronto, or for larger shipments pick-up
can be arranged.

b)     Training component: The reSource Project
provides training places for aspiring computer
technicians, provides first job placements and works
closely with other training institutes.

c)      Reuse and recycling component: The technology
that is repaired and tested is then either donated or
sold at an affordable price to the community.

Opening hours:          
Monday to Thursday 9.30 am to 4 pm

Fridays 9.30 am to 12 noon

Saturdays 2 pm to 5 pm

Where:                        
169 Eastern Ave, Toronto

Pentium III computers are available from $80 + TAX.
15" Monitors  $20.00 Extra + TAX and 17" Monitors
$40.00 Extra + TAX. Also printers and other equipment
are available.

To Obtain a Pentium II computer system (including 15”
monitor):
  a.. Volunteer at Innovation Toronto for one day, OR
  b.. Volunteer at any registered
non-profit/charitable organization for one day and
bring a letter from the organization to show your
volunteer work. OR
  c.. Pay $30 + TAX
As you can imaging the project can only be kept alive
if technology is donated and items are bought. If you
could advise me on either that would be great. Maybe
one of your clients want to upgrade their computers
and do not know what to do with the old ones. Maybe
you know of someone that could benefit from a donated
or inexpensive computer.

Thank you for your time and I hope to see you at the
SIP event or at Innovation Toronto.

Kind regards,

Martina Ernst
