For years now I have recommended and supported Dropbox.com. It is still good for your online/cloud file storage. It has a good free plan that starts with 2GB of storage. I feel that Dropbox is still good; however, they made a change recently that concerned me. (If I was not writing this for the public…
Well, it had to happen sooner or later. I lost a tech device this week that I knew well and held close for years. We first met around 2002 when I also started writing for the Daily News-Record. The end came about over the past month or so. It started acting “wrong” by stopping when…
I have not written about purchasing new computers for Christmas in a while. Ten years to be exact. Why not? There are so many brands, price ranges, different bells and whistles, people’s needs and more. And the, “What should I include in a new one?” question is again…vast.

Sorry for the flashback to “Abbey Road” with The Beatles in 1969 but the title seems appropriate. Today we will take a look at info concerning carrying your notebook. Also, as an aside here – one of my pet peeves regards notebooks vs. laptops. Many people refer to a “notebook” as a “laptop”. Laptops were…
So, several years ago I purchased a Dell Inspiron 2-in-1 notebook. Before I continue I will answer the question, “What does 2-in-1 mean?” These models resemble a regular notebook that does something different with their keyboards. There are basically two different types of 2-in-1s; detachable and convertible. Mine is a convertible which means the keyboard…
A week or so ago Denise wrote to ask if I could send her a couple of my articles which I had published several weeks ago. She has been collecting them for quite a while. I am very pleased to know that people are able to use them. I told her that I would be…
