Between Christmas and New Years 2016, I decided it was time to fully embrace the Cloud. I was inspired by an article I read on Windows Phone Central earlier in the month (link below). The plan was to sync all of my desktop folders with OneDrive, so they could be accessed and updated on … Read more
I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. Can’t explain how or why, I just know it to be true. The owner of our small company has recently been going month to month on our 3,000sf office/warehouse suite as she contemplated; renewing a long term lease, or look for a larger pad for our … Read more
Unless you have been living under a rock, or a highway underpass in a refrigerator box, for the past couple weeks I’m sure you have read about the new Windows SKU that Microsoft is planning labeled Windows 10 Cloud. It is a resurrection of the old Windows RT in that it is a locked down … Read more
“I didn’t know that”. How many times have you heard those words from a family member, friend or co-worker while helping to setup a new Windows 10 machine. Or, even helping out with a PC that may be months old, or maybe running Windows 10 for more than a year. It’s no surprise. Microsoft has … Read more

It’s been more than 100 hours since the long anticipated Windows 10 Anniversary Update was released, and I have yet to cast a clear glimpse of it. Well, not really. I can play with it on my $99 NextBook9, with bare minimum specs, and on the Fast Track of the Windows Insider program. Seriously though, … Read more
I ran across this little applet a couple weeks ago. And as with most things, I approached with a bit of skepticism. Would it work reliably? Would it use 50% of my resources, like a Symantec tool? Would it cause some other issue with the otherwise stable Windows 10 OS? Well, after some testing the … Read more
Back in December when I saw the Flexx 9 – 8.9” Windows 10 – 2 in 1 Tablet available at Walmart for $99, I dissed it in our internal email thread, commenting that it was a piece of crap. I was immediately called out for passing judgment without actually giving the device a chance. That … Read more
Outlook Mail for Windows 10 left a lot to be desired when it launched back in July. So much so that it forced me from using the Windows 10 Mail app to using Outlook Desktop on my office PC. I struggled through using Outlook Mail on my notebooks and tablets for the past six months, … Read more
