Javea Computer Club

- By Jacki Pamflett

What can Alexa do? Alexa, turn the electric heater on at 5.30pm, and remind me to take the chicken out of the fridge when I get home! Amazon’s Alexa now knows how to do millions of things, including new capabiliti­es across Routines, Music, Smart Home, Home Monitoring, Alexa Calling, Amazon FreeTime on Alexa. Jacki takes her Echo devices and Alexa through some of their capabiliti­es.

Mondays and Tuesdays are our usual troublesho­oting days, Android on Mondays and Apple, Handcrafte­d Cards and Genealogy groups on Tuesdays. Individual help by prior arrangemen­t with a committee member please. The club is open to new and existing members from 9.30am until 12.30pm every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Whether you need assistance or advice regarding a PC, smartphone, tablet or an Apple device, we can probably help, so why not come along and get some assistance; or just come along and relax with a coffee. Membership annual subscripti­on still just 10€ with a one-off joining fee of 10€.
