This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of GoViral. All opinions are 100% mine. Now if this isn’t the most adorable thing!!!! It’s MyFelix and it’s a little animated cat for your desktop. It is SO cute! My kids first saw MyFelix at a local library– the library is run by a [...]

Today was the day! Yes, ladies and gentlemen! Did you know what today was?!?! Windows 7 was released, after much, much hype. This constitutes the first time I have actually paid attention to the hype. I am a blossoming geek. I love software. I have computers running all the Windows versions, way back to 3.1. [...]

As many of you know, I am on the CUTTING EDGE of technology… (that’s supposed to be a joke; I am usually a very, very late bloomer and a reluctant shopper when it comes to buying new software and gadgets– I still have a TracFone cell!!) Well, all this hoo-hah about Windows 7 has me [...]

I saw this sweet baby while surfingthe Buy.com weekly special sale page today. What a deal! It’s an Asus Eee900C Netbook, selling for $174.99 and includes free shipping! I have one of these, in white, for the kids, and it is a really neat and very sturdy little computer. Here are the specs: The Asus [...]

An Apple. A Mac Apple, specifically. Many of you know what a lousy time I’ve had trying to find video-editing software for my Vista PC and my Kodak digital camera (that records movies in .MOV files). After pulling out tufts of hair in frustration, I quit. I’ve download a billion codecs, all SORTS of video-editing [...]

Seriously, I am. For one, I have about a dozen floating around the house, attached to various computers (and some I have as extras, “just in case”). Others– broken ones– I have stuffed in a box in my cabinet. I JUST CAN’T bear to throw them away! :cwy: And perhaps the most compelling reason for [...]

Well, I finally broke the bank and decided to get ANOTHER laptop carrying bag. I shopped and shopped and shopped…. only to revert back to my “usual” choice for laptop bags: Case Logic. I have three in the house already– I got two for my daughters’ laptops and another for my huge Toshiba laptop; but [...]

I’m ALWAYS nagging my friends and family to back up their computer files. This weekend, I spent TEN HOURS with my friend in Virigina– on the phone– trying to rid his computer of a horrible, zombifying computer virus. We wound up completely reformatting his computer and starting from scratch. It was quite the job. I [...]

I mentioned a few days ago that I am *trying* to help a friend in Virginia get rid of a nasty virus on his computer. How is it going, you ask? TERRIBLE so far! Gah!! Those jerks who create viruses and trojans should be incarcerated for life and be forced to listen to old Flock [...]

Yikes. You just can’t trust anybody anymore, eh? This video is a news expose from Canada about the crooks in the computer repair industry. Only 3 repair guys out of 10 got the diagnosis right. Most repair estimates were waaaaay over-diagnosed, and waaaaay, waaaay over-priced. ($2,000?!?!?!) It really pays to know your computer! Or, at [...]
