Computer Care: High tech devices bring the future to the present
Twenty-five years ago, my most high-tech device was an electric typewriter. Now I have GPS in my pocket and a Bluetooth in my ear. Being the techno-geek that I am, I can't help but wonder what the future holds.
Computer Care: Free apps can make your computer run smarter, better
Over the past few years, I've advised you to update your operating system, renew your anti-virus, run a malware scan and defrag your hard drive. Not exactly a walk in the park, but necessary nonetheless.
Computer Care: Cellphones are getting bigger, smarter and cooler
I upgraded my cellphone this week. Like my desktop and laptop, I don't run to replace these items when new technology hits the store shelves. Generally I wait until something stops working. Recently it was my not-so-smart cellphone.
Computer Care: User Account Control a matter of preference
Most pop-ups originate from malware. You've seen them. Those annoying ads, the pages of misdirection on your browser or boxes from non-existent utilities that claim to clean your registry.
Computer Care: When updating registry, back up before going forward
Most computers users are generally not afraid to defragment their hard drives, delete temporary files or even reinstall Windows to their computer. But mention editing the registry and even some well-seasoned geeks may break out in a cold sweat and defer that task to someone more qualified.
Computer Care: Destroy data on old PC or it could come back to bite you
You have an old computer that you want to give away or throw out. Perhaps you found a gem of a PC at a yard sale. Either way, the issue to consider is the data on the hard drive.
Computer Care: Privacy online doesn’t exist, but that needs to be changed
Every e-mail you send, every page you visit, each form you fill out, all the ads you click on and all the products you buy online are all there to see for anyone who wants to.
Computer Care: Online privacy today is a myth
Every e-mail you send, every page you visit, each form you fill out, all the ads you click on and all the products you buy online are all there to see for anyone who wants to.
Computer Care: Forward e-mail with courtesy, with the caps lock off, please
E-mails reach my inbox asking me for advice, sharing humor and selling both Viagra and breast implants. But that's OK; I can deal with it. What annoy me are those who inform me of impending doom, should I not forward their e-mail to 16 people. Worse, are the ones that have me watching for a surprise after all 16 are forwarded.
Computer Care: Beware of malware, other threats hiding in Facebook
Facebook may be a nice place to keep up with your friends online, but lately I've been wary of a couple of things concerning its security.
Computer Care: Free apps are nice, but download them with care
It came to me the other day. The holidays are over, and I didn't get anything for you. So let's make up for it and start the new year with some good free applications for your computer. It's January and you don't have any money left anyway.
Computer Care: Thanks for technology, which makes our lives better
As the first decade of the new millennium draws to a close, I reflect back on all of the good things I have: health, happiness and my family top the list. But there is more. Without technology, I would not be happy.
Computer Care: Plenty of bargains to be found shopping online
It's the time of year for friends, family and spending lots of money. Oh yeah, the economy. Well, you can still get those electronic gifts and not spend all of your hard-earned cash. Shop online this year where there are plenty of deals. A few years ago, I spent a Black Friday at an outlet mall at my wife's insistence. She usually makes good decisions, but that is something I shall not experience again - ...
Computer Care: New high-tech cameras offer more options at lower price
Digital single lens reflex cameras, or DSLRs, as they are called, have become ubiquitous, even for the novice photographer. They used to cost up to $1,500 as once did a good laptop. Now both can be had for under a grand.
Computer Care: Take precautions to ease computer eye, body strain
If you're reading this online, chances are you are straining your eyes and probably your neck and back as well. If you're holding the paper while reading this, your turn will come later when you check your e-mail.

Computer Care: Tips to keep Windows 7 on your PC
Windows 8 is great, if you are used to it or if you have a touch-screen laptop or tablet. But more and more of my clients are complaining that they just got a new PC with Win 8 installed - and they hate it.
