• 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.

Gaia,
Good to see your name here and thanks for taking the time to let me know you found the info I pointed to.. uh, ‘informative’ :) That “related video” of the man finding the ATM skimmer is proving quite popular as well —
And yes, there always is a domino effect.. Which is why the ancient sages warned us against letting the camel’s nose into the tent.
