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…

( or Electronic books vs. Paper/Printed books) Several weeks ago I wrote about my wife’s e-ink Nook from Barnes and Noble. I was surprised by the number of responses. I had a small number asking why I did not write about the Amazon Kindle or some of the other e-readers. The reason is that…
Donna S. from Shenandoah wrote and asked a couple of good questions. They first thing she wanted to know was which files she should delete when working in her browser under Options. In your browser’s Options when deleting temporary/old files (settings vary per browser), there is one that I don’t delete. That is the one…
Last week we started looking at securing your home network. Today we will finish our walk-through.

In review: Open your browser and go to…
