I appreciate all of the comments I received regarding System Restore. I don’t think we will all agree on its usefulness but we at least have the choice of using it or not. Regarding the fact that it does not, per se, “uninstall” the offending software, this is quite true. It will, however, remove those [...]
A few days ago I posted an article regarding the use of System Restore in Windows. I had a broken program which I surmised was due to a software program I had downloaded and installed earlier in the day. To summarize I used System Restore the next day to return my computer to the state [...]
Not much is written about Windows System Restore anymore, so I thought I would bring it out for a bow. Every now and then it comes in quite handy.
Yesterday I decided to install some software I had downloaded from the Web. I installed it and all seemed well. The program performed as advertised and I [...]

There is an old song that goes something like this: “Give me land, give me land, give me lots and lots of land… Don’t fence me in!” Well, I finally made the move. YES! I added a second monitor to my desktop. I now have a bunch of land and I am loving it. I [...]
You have most likely heard the expression “hang dog” as in being down and out, but I am faced with “scan dog” this morning.
