His latest was published on May 1st. Click here to read Arthur's piece on using safe mode to track down problems in your computer. BTW- do you have computer questions and you're not sure who to ask? Drop Arthur an email (support@glazerthepctech.com) or give him a call at 770-540-5100. He'll be happy to help. Don't be shy- he lives for this stuff.

My column on the need to preserve the Governor's Honors Program was published on April 30th. Click here to see it. (BTW- after the column was published, funding was allotted for a 4 week GHP in the summer of 2011...not the 6 week program that needed, but it's better than a stick in the eye!)
