This will be the last you hear from me in the DNR until 2012 so I thought I would give you some Christmas geek tips and sites to tide you over through the holidays. First, I figure a few of my readers are getting new computers for Christmas. Yes, from your emails I realize some…
OK, the holidays have started and you may be traveling to visit the relatives in a faraway or unfamiliar location. You take your computer so that you can keep up with email, Facebook, your Tweets and your news and sports information. Gee, first of all what happened to the "good ole days" when you visited…
I received the same email twice this week and I am betting some of you did also. One from a relative and another from a friend of a friend of a friend along with 50+ other people who were copied on it. Now right off you need to think about it. When you get an…
On my Gmail page I first noticed the Scroll Bars on the left (in yellow, shown at bottom of page). With this feature you don’t have to check which labels you want to see, you have all of them with a simple scroll up or down. Neat addition. These are now defaults so if you…

My favorite feature (which was also available in Vista, though not nearly as robust or accurate as in W7) is being able to…
I received an email from Ben in Arizona last week. First of all you may ask, "Are you published in Arizona?" The answer is nope, but I sure wish I was. Maybe then Kim Komando would discover me and I would be on my way to fame and fortune…yeah, right. I have had people write…
Thanks for the response to last week’s column about Gmail Aliases. I received a “bunch” of emails regarding that feature. And, “you are welcome” for pointing out that out to you. I also received a lot of questions from some of you folks who are newer to Gmail about how to set up filters. So…
I recently received a distressing email from Barbara, Broadway, VA, about being hacked. Her email started like this, "Yesterday I got up, turned on my computer, and found that my Gmail had been hacked…" Once they had her email address it allowed them to gain control of her Facebook account too. Her passwords were not…
Last week we talked about the top online email programs. Today I will discuss the top two I have heard about from readers and others in the area. Although, Yahoo! Mail was listed as number one around the world, those I have heard from put Gmail and Windows Live Mail as their favorites. Mine is…
I get a lot of questions about online email programs. I hear: Which one is safest? Which one is best? Which one has the better features? Etcetera, etcetera. I have to say that I believe a lot of those questions can best be answered by each individual. You may have to try out several if…
