Always Use Protection
Rated 5.0 Stars
Backing up information on your computer is more important than ever. We get a fair share of customers who come in with tears in their eyes asking if we can recover their data from a broken hard drive or corrupted drive.

So here are some of my suggestions for the techie inclined on your Christmas list. More »

On the First Day of Christmas, My True-Geek Gave to Me
Hard to believe, but as of the 1st of this month (November) u have 54 days to get hoppin' and get your true-geek something they will love/cherish/adore/do flips over/... whatever. So, as I have in the past I have scoured the 'net and here is my wish list for the first 6 days... tune in on the 1st of December for 7-12... that should take care of the conservative shoppers who want their gifts ready to go well ahead of THE day and the last minute shoppers who always wait to see if the price goes down on Christmas Eve!!

Get the Whole Picture Before Buying a Flat-Screen TV
Anyone who's been to Costco or Sam's Club lately can't help but notice the crowd of flat-screen TVs vying for your attention. As the holiday season approaches and thousands of Hawaii residents haul these behemoths back to their living rooms in Hawaii Kai or Makiki, some people are going to be paying for more than just the TV. There can be a multitude of additional costs - often hundreds more than the TV.

Bookmarks Can Be Delicious
Rated 5.0 Stars
How many times have you gone to a Web site and said, "cool. I should bookmark this" only then to realize, "yeah, but I've got too many bookmarks already. I don't know where to file this thing and I'll probably never find it again anyway". More »

Get Firefox!
For the past few months I've been playing with Firefox (an alternative browser to Internet Explorer) and I can say its "tested and approved" (by me) for use by "normal humans" (as opposed to uber geeks that need the latest and the greatest). More »

Seven Come Eleven
Seven come eleven... if you live in Hawaii and don't know what that means... wow! So, what has it got to do with technology! Well, if you are Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer or any of the huge number of Microsoft employees, you know just what it means... Windows 7 is almost here!

You Have Mail Sir!
Rated 5.0 Stars
Yes you can have fun with your e-mail and yes, I do! I have been using Incredimail for quite a few years and have taken it for granted for so long, that I hadn't thought about doing a column on it until recently when I was asked a lot of e-mail questions which as it happened could mostly be answered by telling about things that you can do with Incredimail!
