Lately I've been dabbling in some great online resources for computer techs and computer business owners. The first one is Podnutz.com. Podnutz.com is a computer repair podcast that is excellent. The host of Podnutz is Steve Cherubino. He owns his own computer repair shop called Geek Force in Philadelphia and he is very knowledgeable about computer repair and business. Not only is he great at fixing desktops, but he is also a laptop WIZARD! I wouldn't even attempt to do a lot of the stuff he does with laptops. Podnutz discusses a lot about computer business and is usually packed with great tips for new business owners and veteran business owners alike. And when Steve or his guests are not talking about business, they are talking about repair work. And that is awesome. So anyway, I am hooked on this podcast. If you're a techie, you should be too! Go check it out! The next resource I want to talk about is Technibble.com. Technibble is a blog about computer repair and business, but they also have an excellent computer repair and business forum. In these forums you can ask for computer help or computer business advice. Plenty of friendly people, many of them owning their own computer businesses, will help you out in there. Technibble also sells a great computer business kit which is an excellent kit for people starting their computer repair business. It includes plenty of great forms that can help you run a professional business and keep track of information at the same time. So Podnutz and Technibble. Go check them out. Two excellent resources for computer repair technicians and business owners. |

Believe it or not, some of the best computer applications are free. Why spend money for Norton Anti-Virus and Internet Security updates when you can get all of that for free? Actually, while I am talking about Norton, let me say something else. They are a huge scam! Don't buy Norton products. There business ethics are horrible. Not only do they constantly nag at customers and make things difficult for them, but they outsource their technical support to Mars! So not only have they gotten rid of American jobs, but they are also getting rid of global jobs! Wow... why am I ranting about Norton? This was supposed to be an article about free computer protection software. So let's crack it out.

So I woke up from taking a nap today and I turned on my computer monitor. Usually when I turn it on, the screen shakes a little bit. This time it didn't stop shaking. I was quite frightened because I am poor as hell right now and I need my computer to do my online classes, work on websites, and for business. Anyway, luckily I was able to fix the problem. Here are some things I tried: |

The short answer: Yes. The long answer: I am not somebody who likes to create charts and do mathematics in order to prove whether a piece of hardware is good or bad, so don't expect any of that. I am going to break this down into categories. The Good: Works on multiple windows platforms. The Tornado File Transfer Tool works with Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, and Windows Vista. It is completely plug-n-play compatible with everything except for 98SE. When you are using it on 98SE you have to download and install a small driver from TheTornado.com. |
