A couple of years ago I wrote about Facebook. I have written about it several times over the years. In my reviews, I am not always complimentary. To me, it is a very unorganized mass of information. The posts are rearranged in some unknown manner that is only understood by the Facebook developers resulting in…
You know the feeling, you are at home and all of a sudden, the sites load very slowly. You may be at the local coffee shop where they provide free Wi-Fi and it is unbelievably sluggish. YouTube videos either stop and start while buffering multiple times in a couple of minutes or do not…
Before I start today’s topic I will answer emails I have received this from a couple of readers. “Are you going to write about which computer I should purchase for Christmas?” Sorry, but no for a couple of reasons. First, I stopped doing this several years ago because they always sounded the same. Next, it…
At a recent speaking engagement, I was talking to the group about security. This discussion was centered on Virtual Private Networks or VPNs. Since 1996 when a Microsoft employee created a secure tunneling system for computers, VPNs have been around. It was not as we know a VPN today; however, it certainly set the process…

I thought you may like this neat trick someone showed me a couple of weeks ago. Are you a Google Calendar user, as am I? Do you enjoy keeping track of your Facebook friends’ birthdays? If so this trick is for you. I use my Google Calendar all of the time. I use it to…
Rick emailed an interesting question about Gmail this week. His company uses Google’s product, “G Suite Business” for their email. With G Suite all email and cloud storage is handled by Google in the cloud. This can allow big savings in money, time and equipment for the company. I have used it before in the…
Last week I started a look at some of my favorite Chrome browser extensions. We started with “Behind the Overlay.” To learn how to install them check out last week’s column. Today we will start with one for your security. We all keep reading about protecting your privacy while online and I agree that is…
Do you get up every morning and go to your phone or tablet to read the latest news and information? If so, do you have those favorite one, two or 20+ sites you visit to get the latest news? There is an easier way to do this without visiting each site individually which you should…
