Happy New Year, everybody! I am back after an extended Christmas/New Year holiday. I’ve had an enjoyable holiday season and hope you did also. My son surprised me on Christmas Day with a brand new high speed computer system, including a beautiful 23” monitor. So, have spent a great deal of time getting it set up with all the software I use. This computer is so much faster than my last system. Photoshop, Lightroom, and Painter are all blazing fast and don’t crash. I am a happy camper.
Very little hot news occurs this time of year, but have found a couple of stories of interest. The rest of the stories here are packed with great information about computers and smartphones. I am sure you will find something here that will be of great value to your technology needs. Be sure and check out the the Technology Buying Guide story. Its filled with good tips for buying every kind technology.
I hope you enjoy this first blog of 2012. - JRC
