Yes, I do have a desktop and an old notebook which is great on the road. But my desktop is king for creating graphics, recording and editing of audio & video, and other high-intensity apps. All take a lot more power than my notebook can supply. So yes, I still like and use my desktop…
During this time of world unrest and other difficulties which are affecting our county at this time I thought I would write something that would be unifying! Do not get overly sensitive as this is not about political unrest, riots, or face masks. I write about technology and I have two unifying concepts in tech…
It appears as though today’s article will be the last of the “Useful Android Apps” series.
