This week I will continue with the second half of the links we talked about last year at DoubleClicks.info. Remember, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them with bit.ly. Here they are in their order of appearance with short descriptions of each. CNet and Download (both part of CBS…
Welcome to the beginning of our fourteenth year together with the Double Click column. Every January we review the sites that we visited in the previous year. Today is no different. So as always, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them using the "bit.ly" app so the links may…
Last week I told you about Ninite.com for your new computer. I received several emails asking what other applications I would install on a new Windows computer. My first "have to have" application is anti-virus software. I suggest initially what probably comes free with your new computer. However, after the free six or twelve month…
Several years ago, I wrote about an application for Windows users, called “Ninite,” (ninite.com). If you are getting a new computer for Christmas, birthday, whatever you need to use this application.

Well, it is the time of year when you may be getting ready to get a new computer. You may be looking for me to give you advice about what type of computer, tablet, phone, or other device to get. I hate to disappoint you but I feel there is something more important you should…
As many of you know in past lives I have been a mortgage loan officer and a residential real estate appraiser. I have also been a buyer and seller of my own homes. I have quite a bit of knowledge about the topic; however, it is not current since I have been out of that…
A friend of mine, Tyler, told me a couple of weeks ago he had the new Taco Bell app for his phone. I thought, "Well isn’t that nice? But he could use his actual phone to call it in." Of course, that was an old school thought. So I checked out the app for my…
Well, I am going to my soapbox this week. Being a nerd I get questions from people all the time asking for help on different things, which is fine. I am always happy to give my two cents worth on technical issues. But sometimes, when I am an unknown in stores, etcetera, I hear some…
