try my blog at Tech
For Free there are some great links
there to pod casts and tech shows. Should
be some lively conversation about computers
in general. Building, repairing,
maintaining and some rants about software
and hardware. |

This page is
a source for a variety of subjects.
Issues Im concerned with like
missing childern and involvement in
our government. The links listed on this page
are websites that I have used / dealt with and found to be reliable, useful resources. The graphic sites I picked
are ones that are free and easy to use.
The progams I have listed are some of my favorites.
Sorry but I do make recommendations
for specific retailers or hardware, please don't email me with
that type of request. I hope you find these links as useful as I have. |
