World Backup Day
What’s worse then that feeling as your car door shuts and you realize your keys are locked inside? When you forget about those cookies you put in the oven until you smell them burning? When you realize you are thirty minutes late for a job interview? It’s when your computer crashes, it won’t start up, and there is nothing you can do to get back your precious data – pictures, documents, emails. Of course if you have backed up all your data, and can easily restore it then this is more of an inconvenience then a...

So you bought a new computer. You are connected to the internet. How do you make sure your computer isn’t infected with a virus, hacked into, and otherwise compromised? Is it necessary to lay out cold hard cash every year for purchase and renewal of anti-virus-spyware-clean-your-computer software? IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) no!

read moreGetting Rid Of Satellite TV?
It’s been a dream of mine for some time now to get rid of my monthly $100/month satellite TV bill and get my family’s TV fix from the internet and free over-the-air signals. Sure, it has been possible for some years now, but not that convenient – when two kids under 5 want Dora they want it now! Recently I took another look at internet TV and naturally was leaning towards the cheaper option – a software product called Boxee that can be installed on any computer for free. Boxee on a computer is great, but you still...

So you need to buy a new computer. Maybe it is a gift, maybe your old one is ready for the electronics junkyard, or maybe you’ve never even owned a computer before. There are many, many choices out there right now, so as a long time computer user and IT guy here are my two cents. Short Answer = Buy a $400 laptop with at least a 15.6″ screen, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive. The long answer is that there are 4 basic types of computers you can buy: Desktop – the traditional PC tower Laptop – a screen and keyboard...
