I get questions regularly about how people’s computers are running slower than they were when they were new. Well, so am I. After a few years, everything slows down a bit. However, with a computer, you have some options to speed them back up. Many times these recommendations will work and then only sometimes well,…
So we have had Covid-19, death and illness along with many small business failures because of Covid, oil pipelines, LinkedIn, Facebook and others hacked in 2021, fights for the presidency (not unusual) along with many problems over the past months. So, guess what? Now we are getting ready for a new release of Microsoft’s Operating…
I am not psychic, a paranormalist or any type of futurist. To show you how well I do in predicting the future, here are a couple of examples. I once owner a Ford Pinto and thought it was a superb car, then a Chevy Chevette (both failures in the public eye). When videotapes were the…

It dealt with the physical computer cleaning like your monitor, keyboard, mouse, inside your computer, etc. Today I have an idea to help you clean the hard drive and software on your computer.

Has technology changed the way we do things? I know, I know, silly question. I was riding on a longer than normal trip with my wife last week. We were talking about how we navigated around the U.S. with an Atlas pre-smartphones. You know the book that links page 34 with page 19 so you…
