Universal Icons are something that you know about and may not have known you knew. Think about some of these icons. The symbol of a house, an arrow pointing to the right, a Holmesian magnifying glass, a heart, a hand with the thumb pointing up or down and many, many more. You have it; the…
Has technology changed the way we do things? I know, I know, silly question. I was riding on a longer than normal trip with my wife last week. We were talking about how we navigated around the U.S. with an Atlas pre-smartphones. You know the book that links page 34 with page 19 so you…
For the past several weeks we have been looking at questions I get most often. First it was browsers, then free email accounts, and last week alternatives for Microsoft Office. Today is one that I really dislike answering but often get quizzed on regarding my opinion. What computer should I get to replace my old…
This is the third week of me referencing some more common questions I get from my readers. The first week we looked at various browsers and bookmarking sites. Next, we looked at suggestions for free email accounts. Now, one that I have visited years ago and things have only gotten better, Office Suites. Most everyone…
I looked last week at some more common questions I get from my readers. I will continue on that this week, and also next week. Last week it was browser questions. Today we will think about email and to be specific, free email. There are some very popular email providers out there which you may…

So, as you regular readers realize, in many areas of Geekdom, I am not the first in line for the newest and greatest tech. However, other things I jump on quickly. It all depends on how much sense it makes to me as to the worthiness and, of course, the cost. Also, I want to…
Last week I mentioned Google’s “2-Step Verification” and I received emails asking what is it, how does it work, is it the same as MFA, 2FA? Also, for help in setting it up. I rarely give step-by-step instructions on how to make things work but the number of emails I received has encouraged me to…
It looks like Google Login which I wrote about years ago is here to stay. But from the emails I get, there are concerns about its use. I am not referring to your login to Gmail.com, Google Maps, or any of the other many Google applications or sites. If you do not have a Google…
