Smartphone protection, Free software, Fun videos, More!
Let me start today by wishing you all a safe, and joyous long holiday weekend! I know many are happy to see the arrival of Fall.

• 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.

TechPaul, I noticed a link under this recent post about the internet causing ADHD in children & i don’t mean in anyway, shape or form to make light of this serious illness, which thank God is treatable; having known friends and family members who struggle w/ this particular disorder daily & it IS a struggle, especially for the parents. Having said that, i still find myself thinking of comedian Steven Wright who had said in a more recent stand up show that because of the advances in internet technology, his friend who had suffered w/ adhd has now advanced to HDADHD & any and/or all episodes he experiences are now in “High Def”!
