​Another varied tech tip

~ Brian Bondy
 
While stumbling around the interweb, looking for some good tech tips, I found this group of 17 tips. I don’t know why they chose 17, it seems odd to me. It is odd, but why 17 and not 15 or 18? It was the first tip that made me read the rest of them. Try re-booting. Whatever electronic device it is, from a vacuum cleaner to a computer, I always try powering it off and then back on. Half the time, it’s as simple as that.

Number 14 had several keyboard shortcuts. Those are always appreciated, if only I could remember them. Still, I tried the one about using the space bar to page up or down. I didn’t understand it. Where would I use that? It turns out, in a browser. The space bar worked at paging down, and shift + space bar paged up. I didn’t know that.

Another thing: I want to thank everyone for the kind birthday wishes. I am now on Medicare. Also, I am retiring from the computer repair business. I’m still going to keep fixing up donated computers and giving them away, but for the most part, I’m out of the repair biz. I want to thank everyone for keeping that line of work going for me. It’s been frequently fun and always interesting. I gave away most of my computer stuff and found a whole other room in my house.
