Well I need to start with an “Oops” this week. Last week’s article included an incorrect statement and if you looked for the software in the link provided you would not find Revo Uninstaller. I stated incorrectly that Revo was by the same company as CCleaner. This is not correct and I even knew better…
Last week we looked at several programs I recommend to be good additions to a Windows system. They are either better than what comes on a PC or those applications may not usually be found on a new computer. Of course, the apps are free…you know me. From the responses I have received you want…
Google told the world on February 12 it will no longer support, wait are ready for it? If you said, "Picasa" you got it right (picasa.google.com). Now I will not yell too loudly about this one since I was not a big Picasa lover. It seemed a little convoluted to me; however, many people love(d)…
I have been told by other geeks for a couple of years I need to get SSD (solid-state drive) for my computer. A SSD is a storage device which uses integrated circuitry to store data on your computer. In recent years they were called hard drives using electro-magnetic media to store your data. You know…
Welcome to the beginning of our fourteenth year together with the Double Click column. Every January we review the sites that we visited in the previous year. Today is no different. So as always, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them using the "bit.ly" app so the links may…
A few weeks ago I told you about a new cloud storage site. It is called Copy.com my current favorite online file storage site (sign up at bit.ly/roncopy for an additional 5 GB of storage). Over a year ago I told you about Dropbox.com which is another excellent cloud storage site. You may also…
Over three years ago I mentioned an excellent product named Dropbox. Dropbox is a “cloud” storage program which allows you to save all sorts of files on a site located on the web. It allows you to “sync” your files without you doing anything to your free 2 GB container of online storage. If you…
Last time we looked at some of the neat features in Google’s newer device called "Chromecast." I liked the column so much I went out and bought one for my household. (Wow, I am easily persuaded.) It works as described with new features and applications being added all the time. I did have several reader…
This week I will continue with the second half of the links we talked about last year at DoubleClicks.info. Remember, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them with bit.ly. Here they are in their order of appearance with short descriptions of each. Dropbox – bit.ly/aszzao. A very good cloud…
I talked to a young lady recently about how she used her Recycle Bin. As if you did not know, the Recycle Bin is the trashcan icon on your Windows desktop. It is usually located on the lower right or upper left corner of the screen. It displays as empty or full. When full, whether…
