The topics of the day:
  • What's the largest park in the continental US?  What's the problem with the Glasgow statue?
  • Our New 8mm Film Digitizer
  • My new *huge* mouse pad
  • Analyzing Spam ... you really don't want to click links!
  • Which Computer to buy?
    • Are Bob's Core i recommendations still applicable?
    • What about the new Ryzen CPUs?  Are they good?
    • How to compare CPUs?
  • Beginning/Background Android
    • Where did it come from, the Father of most modern OSs
    • Market share
    • The Home screens, the three buttons
    • All apps, Settings, Customization
  • The Wow Computer for Seniors
    • It's really a Telikin, cost is $1,000+
    • The hardware is cheap ... the hand-holding is expensive (and may be worth it)
    • Alternatives:  $500 Dell, $600 Acer, $3,500 MS Studio, or a maxed-out Mac Pro at $54,000 (monitor extra.)


The geek joke of the day:  Due to the Corona virus Pandemic, all Internet TCP/IP packets will be temporarily replaced by UDP packets.
