Another Week And…
You will know the week has rolled over when: a. You get another email from the social media firm you cancelled yourself out of. This means you need to unsubscribe yet again through some new complexity. Go to a computer nerd and get them to cancel you out properly. b. The invoice you sent to…

The Constant Update
This is v 3.5 of this post. You should install it in your brain and trash the previous versions. Two of the pleasing aspects of life on Earth are the fact that the sun comes up in the east and sets in the west, and gravity makes things fall down. People have grown accustomed to…

If your Computer Is REALLY For Photographers…
Why have you not done the following? a. Worked out a deal with the major player and pre-loaded Photoshop Elements? It’s a stand-alone that would serve many, many buyers.

The Computer Games That Cause The Most Havoc
It’s not the shoot-em-up games on a screen that do the damage. They might look awful and make the kids into screen zombies, but it is not the splatter quests that ruin a society.

We Professionals Always Do It This Way…
