Every time I put together one of these tech blogs, I hope there are no critical Windows or Microsoft stories I need to include. I’ve over-saturated you with them over the last couple of month…mostly because there were things you needed to know, since most of you are Windows users.

What you will find here are a couple of important news stories, some tips, and some buying guides on certain tech products. I particularly like story #6 that explains what you need to understand when buying an HDTV. I am sure many of you have that on your gift list.
So, with all that in mind, let’s move forward. - JRC
