Many people will be getting a new PC for Christmas. First, congratulations and yes, I may be slightly jealous. But only because you bought one since I did and yours has more updates and features. Of course, the one your neighbor buys tomorrow will have more features than yours. It is almost impossible to get…
Since 2014 I have written about and several times mentioned a browser add-on called Mighty Text (mightytext.net). Then just this last March, I wrote about another one called TextTo (textto.io) which is now known as Send Leap (sendleap.com). They both continue to function well; however, there is another and possibly better kid on the block….
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 were a couple of interesting electronic add-ons to our world a few years ago. One called Siri for iPhones/Apple devices and “OK Google” for Google devices. For my Android phone I simply say, “OK Google” and tell it whatever I am looking for. If I need help finding a store I say, “OK Google,”…
Last week I mentioned a friend whose computer was struggling through a major malware and viral infection. I had several readers write to ask, what was done to resolve it and even more importantly how to stop a reoccurrence of the same problems. To resolve it I installed Avast! for antivirus protection and Malwarebytes to…
I realized several weeks ago that I had never provided you with a Spring Cleaning plan for your computer. So guess what? Today we start cleaning your system for better performance. The first thing you want to do is to unplug your computer. This includes the power, speakers, keyboard, printer, thumb drive, wireless mouse connectors…
