7 Links Challenge, And More Reco’s
Yesterday I received a “challenge” from a fellow tech writer…which is a bit out of the ordinary, to say the least.
Sadly, I do not have time today to respond to that challenge – but I will just ASAP. In the meantime, for a good read (and to find out what the *heck* I’m talking about) please see: The “My 7 Links Challenge” at What’s On MY PC.

• 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.

Hey Paul
The page “Most cyber security experts believe cyber arms race is on” has a link to a great free (limited time) downloadable eBook called PC Maintenance Guide. Great book, and I thank you kindly for directing me to the ZDNet site!
