I get many questions about Firefox Add-ons and have not written about them for the past several years. So today I will discuss two of my favorite Add-ons. Add-ons "add" more features to this great browser and if you haven’t used FF you should download it and try it out at mozilla.com. Add-ons can get…
Last week my article about changing your computer’s battery generated some emails that surprised me. It was not about replacing batteries but it was about the time on people’s computers. They were asking how to set the time for their computers. You know, the time in the lower right corner of your taskbar. First, I…
Your computer is working great, but the little clock in the right side of my taskbar gains and looses time every time I start my computer. What is going on? Most likely your battery is going dead. Yes, your super-duper electronic marvel has a battery in it. How do you think it keeps/kept accurate time…
Before I get into today’s discussion I wanted to mention the Bit.ly column from last week. If you missed last week’s column you will have to buy last week’s paper or go to DoubleClicks.info to check it out. The link that I mentioned about County Codes, bit.ly/a7Vmpo, was visited by 41 readers. Thanks for looking!…

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. Send them to me any time… they often make great columns. You will not usually see extremely specific questions answered here since…
I had a great email from AP telling me about someone teaching her a great windows feature this week. I thought I had written about this hidden feature long ago. In searching through all of my columns I found that I had not, so today we will take a look. You know how it works……
