Jenny recently wrote to me and asked an interesting question. She said she had searched to see how to best move her old Windows 7 computer to a new Windows 10 laptop. She went on to explain that she wanted to transfer passwords, bookmarks, etc. There are several things I understood from her question. One…
Last week we talked about Gmail, Facebook and Facebook Messenger all great smartphone apps. Also, they were submitted to me by you readers. This week we look at a few more; two of them recommended by my wife. Robin only enjoys a couple of games. Yes, she also has email, Facebook, Amazon and many of…
Thanks for joining me again for the ongoing list of smartphone apps. The suggestions this week have been sent to me from you all…the readers. Last week I covered three apps; the new Weight Watchers app, Google Maps and the other major map app, Waze. If you are interested in viewing Part 5 from last…

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. There are way too many choices today….
I was dumbfounded when Charles wrote to ask a question about GasBuddy. I knew I had written about that in the past. So, I looked in my files for the article so I could send it to him. I could not find one as I apparently have never talked about it before. So off we…
