Tuesday Tech Tips

August 25, 2009

I’m thinking it’s something in the water…or the latest updates from Microsoft.

It’s a Jungle Out There!

August 19, 2009

Just a few thoughts from my world:
If anyone says they “know it all” about computers, excuse youself from the conversation and place their business card in the nearest shredder. I bet even Bill Gates wouldn’t even make that claim. I know some things about computers, some learned sitting up way to many nights [...]
