As a company that frequently installs networks in homes, small businesses, churches, and schools, we often run into the issue of weak wifi signals, or ‘dead spots’. In the past we have dealt with it in multiple ways. We have used PowerLine (using a building’s electrical system to distribute data) adapters to get the network […]

As a company that deals often with data recovery solutions, we have had dealings with many different companies. When a critical drive recently needed recovery, we found a new player in the game and decided to give them a try. Fields Data Recovery had a wonderful website and it said all the right things. We […]

January 26, 2022 Update: Obviously, I haven’t been updating this very frequently over the past few years. There are many reasons for that, including several deaths in the family, loss of employment, kids in college, etc. However, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been keeping up with this topic. Many things have changed in the past […]

It is truly a sad day. HP has announced that it will discontinue the sale of webOS phones and tablets. This is probably very frustrating to those who bought the new HP Tablet in the last couple of months…and they are still advertising them on TV! As a long time Palm user, it is sad […]

Ever since the iPad arrived on the scene, everyone felt they needed a tablet. This amazed me, since Fujitsu has been selling tablets for over 15 years. They just didn’t have the ‘cool’ factor that Apple adds to all their products. Now that we are on the iPad2, other manufacturers are trying to get into […]

Ever since the iPad arrived on the scene, everyone felt they needed a tablet. This amazed me, since Fujitsu has been selling tablets for over 15 years. They just didn’t have the ‘cool’ factor that Apple adds to all their products (through the ingestion of Steve Job’s Kool-Aid by the unsuspecting). Now that we are […]
