2020 Sites in Review, Part 3

For the past two weeks, we have reviewed the sites that I wrote about in 2020. What a year to remember…or for most of us, forgetting would be the better option. Today is the last look at those sites. If you see something that reminds you of another site, whether it is similar or for…

I paid for software?

Apps I Purchased

The holidays are usually a great time of getting together with family and friends. I do not know how or if you are planning that this year, but I hope you have a great holiday season whatever you have decided. Also, as I have been asked this year and others, “Why don’t you write about…

It is hard to believe but today we begin the 18th year of the "Double Click" column.  I want to thank all of you for reading the almost 900 articles.  Thanks for the emails I continue to receive.  Not only does it let me know the articles are actually being read but I really enjoy…

Windows 10: Taskbar Tricks, Part 3

Before I get started with today’s information regarding the taskbar for you I have to apologize to those of you who had trouble accessing the DoubleClicks.info site last week.  As I warned several weeks ago I moved to a different website hosting company (Bluehost.com).  As expected, this caused a few days of the site being…

Windows 10: Taskbar Tricks, Part 1

Someone recently asked me a Windows 10 Taskbar question via email. Yes, you can email me any-old-time for help, comment about the articles or ask something you wondered about.  It can deal with PCs, the internet, applications, phones, etc. I will be happy to help, listen or respond as the case may be. So, keep them coming and realize that due to the number I sometimes take several days to respond.

Updates

Here is one update to the last two columns I wrote about Google Maps and Waze for Android devices.  Guess what?  Waze released a new version of its excellent product.  It has a couple of nice new features but mostly it was cosmetic with a few navigational changes.  I believe it looks better, is quicker…

2015 Sites in Review, Part 1

Welcome to the 15th year of "Double Click."  It has been a pleasure giving you computer and tech information each week since January, 2002. Each January I review the sites I wrote about during the previous year.  If the site addresses are too long for print I have shortened them using a branded short domain…

New Computer Suggestions

Now that Christmas is over and you have a new Windows 10 computer, what should you do? I suggest the first thing you do out of the box is run a windows update.  It may be running a second after you boot up the computer; however, check to make sure. It is quite easy to…
