One of the problems with radio today is that while the random order of songs can be enjoyable, the lack of artist and song quality can be infuriating. There are several radio stations in my area that play a handful of songs that I really enjoy, but aside from that, the same old garbage keeps […]

Do you find it difficult to gauge another person’s needs? If you say “No,” then you are in a different league from me. A week ago at a seniors PC users group I installed a wireless router and demonstrated how it works. This week a couple of the people who were at the demo told […]

When you have more than one email account, managing them all can become a real pain. You either have to do your best to import them all into one place or you have to do the email checking dance and go from Web site to Web site to get things done. I needed a freeware […]
