Last month I became involved in an internet scam with Craigslist. You know, for some unknown reason I have never been a fan of Craigslist (craigslist.com) for buying or selling things online. I have never used it…just a bad feeling; although, I have bought and sold items online before at other sites having no real…
Before I get started today I guess I have to add a disclaimer. That would be I work full time for NTELOS in the wireless/mobile phone industry. So I would never encourage you to get a phone from us, the best place around but…oops. I have received this question many times through the years and…
Cyril from Northern Virginia wrote me with a great question a few weeks ago. He wanted to know how to save a little paper and ink when he orders items online. He figured there must be some ways to save some money with receipt printing. You know the drill if you have ordered online from…
Last month I finally went to Dr. Shawn Lepley (many heartfelt thanks to you doc) about what I thought was asthma. He sent me to RMH for a stress test and a few days later I went in to have four heart stents installed via two separate procedures. Also, many thanks to Dr. Stewart Pollock…
I received the same email twice this week and I am betting some of you did also. One from a relative and another from a friend of a friend of a friend along with 50+ other people who were copied on it. Now right off you need to think about it. When you get an…
Thanks for the emails regarding last week’s column. I always appreciate hearing from you readers. So, thanks for reading Double Click! This week I am going to talk about an interesting site that I put off using for several years. There was really nothing wrong with it but I just didn’t "get it". I was…
I receive questions about online Bibles and being a Christian I am familiar with a couple of the sources out there. Here are two that I am familiar with and currently use. One is a source for most anything in the "study" category that you could need. The other is a great source to help…
I was talking to my friend and realtor, Chris Rooker of Kline May Realty, about security of documents in the "Cloud". I presented him with a thought that I voice often and that is, at this point in time, I do not put anything confidential online; including in my emails and online storage. Never do…
Last week I wrote about two Menu Applications for Windows operating systems. I specifically mentioned Windows Vista and 7 but those two apps will work on most any of them. They were “Desktop Sidebar” and “RocketDock“. Check last week’s Double Click for more details. I also mentioned bringing the Windows’ “Quick Launch Toolbar” that many…
Many people do not care for the almost-new Menu navigation system for Windows 7. I personally see where Microsoft could have made some additional changes; however, I still like it very well. My favorite feature (which was also available in Vista, though not nearly as robust or accurate as in W7) is being able to…
