<h1>Your computer is 8 years old? That's 160 in laptop
years!!</h1>
<p>One question I am often asked is “How long should
my computer last?” The answer is always, “It
depends.” There are many factors that play into how
long you should expect to use your current computer.
Our expectations change over time. The software we
use becomes more bloated. The hardware degrades over
time. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<h1>There's a New Kid in Town (Chrome Books)</h1>
<p>While we were all fighting over which laptop is
better, an Apple based or a Microsoft based, Google
has released their own operating system. Many
computer manufacturers are now building laptops
based on it as well as the traditional Windows
laptop. The Chrome Book is the new kid on the block.
But like a stubborn teenager, it does what it wants
to do and nothing more. It has some growing up to
do, but it may turn out to be the future of portable
computing. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<h1>Phuture of Phree Wi-Phi Phones</h1>
<p>Well, maybe not totally free, but Wi-Fi is changing
the way we think about communications. If you still
have an old land-line type of phone at home, you are
already behind the times. Cell phones have all but
killed the market for home phones. No longer do you
call someone's house, but now you call a person.
Each person has their own cell phone and their own
cell phone number. (Anyone still remember party
lines where one phone line was shared among several
houses?) <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<h1>Passwords - Keys to the Information Superhighway</h1>
<p>“Hackers nab 1.2B passwords in colossal breach,
says security firm” That is the headline of an
article from CNET in August of last year. So what
can you do to protect yourself from password heists?
Unfortunately, we are in a state of minimizing
damage rather than avoiding it entirely. Those 1.2
Billion passwords, and many others from similar
attacks have already been stolen. The horse is
already out of the barn. The question now becomes,
“What can be done to minimize the effect of this and
similar password breaches?” <a
