A few of my customers, lately, are complaining that they can't watch videos at YouTube.com. They see a message stating that the latest version of the Flash player isn't installed or that they may be experiencing issues with the current version or configuration of the Java software.
I've seen references to this problem, elsewhere, but no real solutions.

I've finally organized all (almost all) of my email addresses with
Google Apps. It's like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders! I can now access all of my email, from every account (and I have many), without having to "forward" it to different addresses, just to make sure I'm receiving all messages, from all addresses.

Like many of you, I heard (I was in the other room) the TV ad for FinallyFast.com. Being the geek that I am, I had to see what it was all about. They claim that they’ll speed-up your computer by fixing errors, blah, blah, blah… It was the same old stuff.
So I downloaded the software, PC SpeedScan Pro, by a company called Ascentive, and installed it on my machine. I scanned through the EULA, before installing it, of course. I saw no mention of any third-party advertising software or ad support.

A few months ago, maybe even longer than that, I came across the Web Of Trust. I believe it was while I was searching for new Firefox add-ons. Just out of curiosity, I installed it. At the time, I didn't realize what a valuable tool it would turn out to be.

It’s common knowledge that computer technology would be lost on San Angelo’s senior citizens, right? Not according to members of multiple senior citizen computer clubs. In this small west Texas city of about 100,000 people, it seems these folks have a hunger for computer knowledge that most younger people might not expect.
