Another month has come and gone which means Microsoft has presents for you. Make sure you run the Windows Update utility to get all the update goodness!
Talk to you soon...

Just a reminder that yesterday, Feb 8th, was Microsoft Patch Tuesday. For those of you not in the know, the second Tuesday of each month is when Microsoft release security fixes for Windows and Office. Make sure your computer is up-to-date by running the Windows Update utility. You’ll find it in your start menu in the “Programs” section.

Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 12:09PM Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let all of you know about the new website page I have published to this site – “Links”!
I know, I know. Big Deal. Another page of random links that no one uses and fills up website space. Not true. These are a list of links to websites and services that I use often, and some of them everyday. The links encompass news and podcasts, software and services, how-tos and tips, and some great resources for kids online. My criteria for sharing these links is: Is the site too “techie” or “geeky” for the average user? If not then I will share it.
Here are the five sections I have added to the page:
As I come across more links that I think will be useful to a average computer user I will include them in the list. Hope these help.

Friday, January 28, 2011 at 6:29PM We’re back with the latest installment in our backup series. Today we are going to cover how often you should perform backups. There are three basic options we are going to cover in regards to backup frequency:
Let’s cover the “Autosave” feature first.
Wednesday, December 8, 2010 at 12:36PM Are you bored yet? I told you backup was “exciting”! Today we take the next step in creating our backup plan. In my last post we talked about what we should be backing up: your system and your documents. So now we will take a look the where of our backup plan. There are two choices for most small business and home users: 1) local and 2)offsite. I use a very simple test to determine the difference between the two. If you can throw a rock and hit the device that stores your data then it is local, otherwise it’s offsite. We will take a look at what these two terms mean, give some common examples of each, throw out some pros and cons and finally discuss why you need both.
