David Pogue - the funnyman/tech guru at the New York Times -  blogged this week about Tech Tips for the Basic Computer User

 

I consider myself to be pretty tech savvy but there were quite a few really simple things in here that i wish I had know YEARS ago....These are all really basic ( as the title but i would be really surprised if anyone knows all of these! 

 

Have fun...and pass them on!

I was going to feel real silly if I didn't know most of the "basics" by now - whew!  There were only a few that I didn't know, but I started out on Macs so some of the Windows commands are still a little alien to me.  Thanks for the little refresher.

(I didn't switch willingly...I'm forced to use Windows for most work functions!  Ah well.)

I use some of those too, but I did learn a couple of things...thanks Amy!
By the way...you live in the city I grew up in and you are the second person today I have run across from back home here on AR!  This must some secret message telling me to get back home and visit with family...LoL!  Ahhh...but it can't be, we are all meeting in Atlanta for Thanksgiving.  Hmmm...I guess it doesn't mean anything then.

@greg...Do try to get back to Cville sometime soon!  I am not sure when the last time you were here was, but it has grown a lot....not ALL good but it is a great small city with an amazing amount going on!  

@Suzanne - Thanks for clarifying that your were FORCED to switch from Mac to PC:  I cannot imagine anyone doing that voluntarily :)...Just out of curiosity, as a Realtor, what work functions can you not perform on a mac? My MLS is not Mac Friendly but I still make it work...and I have found get-arounds for everything else I need to do too.
