Before I start today’s topic I will answer emails I have received this from a couple of readers. “Are you going to write about which computer I should purchase for Christmas?” Sorry, but no for a couple of reasons. First, I stopped doing this several years ago because they always sounded the same. Next, it…
At a recent speaking engagement, I was talking to the group about security. This discussion was centered on Virtual Private Networks or VPNs. Since 1996 when a Microsoft employee created a secure tunneling system for computers, VPNs have been around. It was not as we know a VPN today; however, it certainly set the process…

With G Suite all email and cloud storage is handled by Google in the cloud. This can allow big savings in money, time and equipment for the company. I have used it before in the…
You know everyone makes mistakes; however, not many make as far reaching a mistake as Bill Burr. Mr. Burr is the person responsible for the current password guidelines he dispersed and he now says the instruction was wrong. He authored an eight-page document which was OK’d by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He…
This is the last week of our Chrome Extension tour and I have three of them left. I have also saved the very best for last and you will not believe what it does, it is a miracle! I am sure you will get my meaning at the end. First up is, “LastPass: Free Password…
