Photography can add so much to our lives by recording and sharing special events, places, family and friends, and most importantly, our cherished memories.

Windows 10 Browser:
Moving from Internet Explorer to Edge
Monday, October 4 at 2 PM 
The number one reason to stop using Internet Explorer is that it has major security issues. It is far more susceptible to hackers discovering your security software. Once they know this they can attack your computer without you ever knowing. Also, most websites won’t run on the old, outdated, and unsafe Internet Explorer.
We know it’s easy to stay with what you are comfortable with and we’re going to make this simple and fast for you to switch from Internet Explorer to Edge, which is Microsoft’s new modern, safe, and privacy-oriented browser. Join SeniorNet’s free webinar to make the switch and start surfing the web with confidence.
