Latest Columns!

My husband, Arthur, and I each write twice-a-month columns for The Times here in Gainesville. His deal with computing and technology issues. Mine deal with whatever strikes my fancy.

Arthur's latest was published on January 22nd. Click here to read "Beware of malware, other threats hiding in Facebook."

My column, published the 22nd, is a response to the Amy Chua's book, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother." Just keep in mind when you click here, I write the column, not the headline. I'm still scratching my head over that one...

Click here to read about a parenting book that's very different from the Tiger Mother's. It has a lot to say about community and human kindness.

Computer Problems?

Arthur says that if you have an old computer- whether a desktop or laptop- and you have data on it that you'd like to have removed or copied, he can do that for you.

If you've recently changed computers or plan to soon, he can extract those photos and documents you may have thought were lost for good. Well, they are not lost and your computer may even be salvageable. Let him take a look at it. He can also replace a small or defective hard drive or add a second one if you've run out of storage space.

He reminds you that just as with your car, your computer requires periodic tune-ups, usually twice a year. He can clean the junk from your system, check it for viruses and malware and make it run faster. Even if you think yours is running fine, he can make it run faster. His rates are reasonable and he stands behind his work.
