Welcome back to another week of Double Click (now, Gray Haired Tech). I would like to remind you to shoot me an email with your tech/computer questions when you run into them. I am always glad to hear from you guys any time. If you read the column regularly you will know that I have…
Android Factory Reset
Last time we talked about what to do if you could not remember your Android phone’s passcode or pattern. An email this week stated, "OK, I don’t really use Gmail for much and never log into it." They then went on to explain that they could not provide adequate information to Google to get their…
Passcode, What Passcode?
Robert wrote me recently with a question I had never received before. It was an excellent question. I am sure some of you have bumped up against before, too. He wrote saying that he had just gotten back from a vacation out of the country and had not wanted to be bothered by work. To…
Oops, One of Them Even Got Me
I read online about an interesting application a couple of weeks ago and thought I would try it out to see how it works. If it was a good one I would recommend it to you. I always test programs like this in two ways. First, I install a "test" application with all the default…

Totally Clean Your Computer before Giving It Away
You just bought a new notebook computer (or desktop for that matter) but you want to clean up before you give it away. That is a nice thing to do for someone who may need a computer but is not able to afford a new one. Also, you are concerned about your personal information on…
Google Reader is Gone… Now What?
Last week I talked about Google Reader being another fond Google memory. If you are still interested in following your favorite RSS Feeds, what can you use to replace this great application? If you have already substituted it with some other “feed reader” let me know what it is and how you like it. If…
Google Reader is Now History
Yes, just two days ago Google Reader (that well known and beloved RSS feed reader) was removed from the Google stables. Google announced it in March of this year and I have already ranted about the unfairness of it all, the degradation, and the sadness that has overcome us all…so enough of that, let’s get…
