Thank You, Tech – for Everyone Readers | One Million!
The old odometer has just clicked over the 1,000,000th visitor to my humble tech Tips, Tricks, and Advice site, Tech – for Everyone.
Since I first published article #1, The first Tech Paul Post: secure your web connection, in June of 2007, I have learned a good deal, made some very important friendships, and – hopefully – helped a few folks learn a few things, solve a few problems, and better enjoy technology along the way.
To you – Dear Reader – I say…
A few other T4E stats:
# of articles posted: 1,056 (roughly 93.56% original, 6.44% re-postings.) Use my “Search widget” to browse prior tips & answers by keywords, or browse my writings by month.
# of Reader Comments: 3,892 (almost exactly half of those are my replies.. so lets say, 2,000 readers have asked questions/commented. I welcome your comments on my articles and questions about computers and “tech”. Dialogue is what keeps the Web relevant and dynamic.)
Most popular article: Manage Startup programs in Vista (115,584 page views)
Most downloaded program (referral): Security Task Manager (928)
# of cups of coffee consumed by Tech Paul while writing all these articles: 16 (… but, they were Olympic swimming pool-sized cups. Ha!)
I never intended to write so many posts, nor write for so long.. my intention was simply to publish a few How-To’s so I could say “read this”, instead of repeating myself (when people find out you’re a tech.. they ask you questions!). But let’s see if we can’t make it through another three years together – shall we?

• 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.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

Congratulations Paul, on reaching this impressive milestone.
This is an outstanding achievement – a level of readership reached by very few. It is a reflection of the valuable public service, and professional advice, you offer to your many readers.
Continued success, and I look forward to reading your thoughtful articles for at least the next 3 years, or more.

When I was composing the announcement, and checking dates and figures and such.. and re-reading some of my first posts.. it seemed like a distant radio was playing..

And I remember spending hours “recording” those vinyl discs to a new thing called “cassette tapes”.. and paying extra for “metal” tapes.
Nowadays, my entire music collection fits on a ‘chip’ about the size of my fingernail, and my “phonograph player” is about the size of a zippo lighter… Amazing!

Cappydawg,
BION (Believe It Or Not), I am asked from time to time, “why do you do it?” (blogging). Especially when the person realizes nobody is paying me to do it.
Also, BION, I sometimes ask myself that question too.
The answer always boils down to: my job often requires me to educate, along with “repair”. I don’t always just ‘click’, ‘click’, ‘click’, you’re all set.
And so, I guess, the “teacher” in me hopes to provide a way for everyone to “learn and enjoy reading”.
Comments like yours keep me going. Thank you.
