The article last week regarding Livescribe generated many emails from readers, for which I thank you.

I went through almost my entire college career without taking notes. I found that when I took notes I was busy writing and missed what I really needed to get from the lecture. I was/am not good at shorthand; neither the genuine one nor my own made up version. Lo-and-behold, technology triumphs again! This creative…

Someone came to me and basically said since I am a geek and obviously quite knowledgeable with computers would I totally rebuild…
Last week I gave you a better way to prep your Android devices before getting rid of them. Dana wrote and asked me a great question related to that process. Although I am well aware of it from personal experience, I had never thought about mentioning here. So thanks, Dana, for the idea; I think…
A few weeks back I wrote about an application you could use to retrieve deleted files from a computer’s drive, SD Card, etc. This was really highlighted when I got an email from Tom in Harrisonburg, about his adventure with that application, Recuva. It began with, "I took a deep breath, downloaded, installed and ran…
