    After my first month with an Android phone

    I can say unequivocally that Google and Amazon are the two worst companies in the world. Both are a massive invasion of privacy. Even on Linux I find it amazing how much they want to infiltrate a computer...with or without your permission. I don't know how Amazon did it but they can put stuff on...

    Intsalling older printers in Windows 10, 8, 7

    The most requests I've had since Windows 10 was released was for recommendations for a new printer that works with Windows 10. The fact is you don't really need to buy a new printer for Windows 10 just because either the manufacturer doesn't have drivers or Windows 10 can't find a driver when...

    Greg Lake...lost soul or what?

    Under rated bass player or just not in the right band? I saw him with ELP in '74 and I still wonder why every band he was in was just another step in his path...he had such promise but never seemed to make it to the apex of what he wanted. His lyrics and music seemed to outpace those he...

    How to clean up after Windows 10 upgrade

    If you did the upgrade from your previous version to 10 you should know that your old Windows files still exist on the drive in a folder called Windows.old (what else?), but there are also other files from the upgrade that are not needed either.

    Linux dies, Linux lives

    So a few weeks back I read about the demise of the Mandrake/Mandriva Linux distro. Got me to wondering just how long a Linux distro lasts in the real world. Then this week I stumble across two distros, SparkyLinux (with 4 different front ends!) and Manjaro (sounds like a spaghetti western) based...
