Tis the season! This time of year is when tech news gets a little slow. Not much going on as many of the tech companies are pretty much shut down. So putting a tech blog together gets a little difficult. But not to worry…the Computer Electronic Show kicks in right after the new year so we will start off January with a big bang.
With that in mind, I will take Christmas week off, then come back in January with more tech news and tips. I still was able to put together one last 2017 blog here with some interesting news and more tips and tricks for your computing pleasure.
I just want to thank you all for taking the time to read all my rants and raves and hope you found some good information here that make it all worth it. So until January, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! -JRC
