Microsoft ‘scams’..
A good website here, straight from the horse’s mouth. Read and inwardly digest, pass it on to people you know, spread the word. Do it NOW.. 😉

What is his/her password?
Maybe you should ask him/her. A widow wants Apple to disclose her dead husbands ‘silly little password’. Obviously, asking the husband is out of the question. So what next? All she wants to do, allegedly, is download a new game onto the iPad, but we only have her word for that.

OK, this is one cause for flickering screens after a Windows 10 upgrade. It may be the only one, I don’t know.. The cause? Norton.. 🙂 See here.. No, I don’t like Norton or Symantec Anything, but I don’t like any of the other big anti-virus suites either. I have tried them all, and just as I think I have found a good one, the software author trashes it. Anti-virus programs weren’t always this way. There was a time when nobody really knew if they did anything at all. All we could do was believe what we were told. One … Continue reading Windows 10.. the flickering screen..
