Sponsored post: Golf Against Cancer Tournament will be held Friday August 15

By Lisa Ace

Would you like to make a difference in the life of a cancer patient? Genesee Cancer Assistance, Inc., has been in operation since 1995 and has strived to make the difference in the lives of Genesee County residents who have fought the courageous battles against cancer.

Our annual golf tournament is being held on Friday August 15, 2014 at the Batavia Country Club in Batavia and on behalf of the board of directors, the numerous volunteers and most importantly, the cancer survivors, we are asking for your support. If you're not aware, 100% of your financial support stays here in Genesee County.

This year's tournament is in memory of Patrick "Swaz" Suozzi & Jerry Martino!

The cost is $90 per player. Requested foursomes can only be made at registration, otherwise foursomes will be made up randomly. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m., with lunch served at 11 a.m. at the Halfway House (outside). Shotgun starts at approximately 11:45 a.m.

Registration deadline is Friday, August 11, 2014.

Lunch and dinner tickets will be distributed at registration. Soda and beer are included with lunch and dinner. The steak dinner starts immediately after golf with awards and prizes to follow in the Club House. Prizes are for a hole-in-one prize on all Par 3's, 50/50 raffles, and a putting contest.

For more information or questions, please contact John Gerace (585) 303-0407 or via e-mail at: johngerace@rochester.rr.com

Sponsored post: Windows XP Support ending on April 8th 2014 – WHO CARES!?

By Lisa Ace

STOP THE PANIC!
 
I have MANY computers running Windows XP. My updates are turned off and have been since 2006. I only install Service Pack 3 and the Daylight Savings Time patch. I also, by the way, have a Windows 2000 workstation (support ended in 2009) – IT WORKS FINE.
 
I don’t need, and don’t want, Microsoft’s updates. I haven’t needed them in 8 years, I won’t miss them after April 8th.
 
I have been in the computer business for 27 years – I stake my reputation on what I am telling you. Read my article on “Why you don’t need to replace your XP computer” at WWW.BATAVIACOMPUTER.COM
