Boycotting the Olympics
Folks, I am boycotting the Olympics this year. I am a bit curious as to how Tech–for Everyone readers are feeling about the games being held in China and so I’ve created a very brief survey.

I will post the results a little later on.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.

Coration–
I simply must repond. Please do not live the rest of your life thinking that your choices and actions “won’t make any difference” (because you are just one person.. and don’t have any ‘power’).
That attitude makes a person a sheep.. and how many things are higher on the food chain than a sheep?
