Thanks for the many questions this week that all dealt with the same thing. Many readers wanted to know about all the references I have given out over the past several weeks. Most everyone wanted to know what the ‘bit.ly’ links were since they accessed different sites. First, allow me to give a short explanation…
First today I would like to thank all of you who read and applied what you learned from last week’s column. It was regarding the cloud storage platform Dropbox.com. Because some of you used the link I mentioned, I gained an additional 2 GB of storage. They have a maximum of 8 GB allowed free…
I often receive questions about where you can save your documents in the cloud (online). In the past I have written about Mesh.com and Google Docs. However, I have found another one which, I believe is even better. Over the past several months I have started to depend on Dropbox.com. With Dropbox you get 2GB…
I had quite a few emails after the screenshot column last week about the print screen key. Thanks for emailing me and please keep them coming! A couple of them inspired this column.

If you read the column regularly you will know that I occasionally give you general warnings about viruses, scams, etc. However, there is one running like crazy right now that I feel I need to talk about. I interrupted the regularly scheduled column this week to let you know about it. A lot of my…
Many of you had questions and suggestions about Windows 7 after last week’s column. Thanks for asking them! And no, that is not all I will be writing about now. Since it is the newest and one of the most popular Windows operating systems I will talk about it from time-to-time. I do realize that…
I have been written to by several of the "Double Click" readers as to why I have not mentioned Microsoft Windows 7 very often. The answer is that there are about 50 bazillion other geeks out there, who have written about it relentlessly since it rolled out to the public in October, 2009. I figured…
My mouse has no tail! No, I do not mean the little rodent variety, but the ones fitting comfortably under your hand that you poke and prod all the time at your computer. One of my readers/listeners, Jenny saw me in a local eatery the other day while I was working on something. I go…
