A little news and a lot of good info, tools and tips…that is the best way to describe this edition of our tech blog. Of course, during the month-long holiday season, hot tech news is in short supply. But, that is probably a good thing, at least for this blog.
The Internet news feeds these days are filled with stories about great tech savings at brick and mortar stores and on the Net. And, there are some good buys out there at the present time. But I prefer to help you with using your current technology rather than promote the best place to buy a tablet.
So, that is my story, and I am sticking to it. Be sure and read the last story about ToolWiz Care. I started using it a couple of weeks ago and I really like it. My computer seems to be running better. Far fewer crashes and greater speed. I have used these kind of programs before and seen no visible improvement. But with ToolWiz, I definitely see the difference.
Also, if you use iTunes, the adjustments mentioned in story #8 do work. Give it a try. PS – Hey Apple: We are still waiting for iTunes 11.
OK…on with the show. -JRC
