Logo Tip
As I mentioned previously I have been asked to evaluate freeware for Lockergnome readers and I ran across a very nice one. I am in the process of building my Web site, which is going slower than I expected. It is going slowly because I want it to be perfect when I publish it, so [...]
Don't Recommend PC Bug Doctor
Gnomie Joseph Anderson writes: Hi. Wanted to share my experiences with a product known as “PC Bug Doctor.” My PC (1.6 MHz P4, 1 GB RAM, Win XP SP2, IE6 – all current updates) has been running slow as molasses (3GB bandwidth) for the past week. I knew something was wrong, but what? I received [...]
File Sharing Trends Change
Well, folks, it looks like file sharing trends are changing yet once again. Experts say that due to the ongoing piracy crackdown on BitTorrent and its users, less and less people are using it.

Google Talk On Dial-Up Vs. High Speed
Well, aside from everyone (including myself) bashing the name of Google’s new PC-to-PC voice service, I just had to write my own report on my findings from using it over the last few days.

Google Talk Is Pretty Cool
Well, this was a real treat. I posted my Google Talk account on Lockergnome a few days ago so that people could speak with me. In that time, I’ve spoken with several people: A mother who is afraid of technology, but keeps up with it because of her subscriptions to the various Lockergnome newsletters. A [...]
Backup4all Is A Winner
Softland claims that its Backup4all is a “feature-rich, intuitive backup solution for users of all versions of Windows at all levels of expertise from beginner to professional.” That sounded like the backup solution I was looking for, so I took it for a test ride. As is the case with most software these days, download [...]
