Tips & Tidbits for any level computer user.
Hi, and welcome to my tips site! Learning to use a computer can sometimes be a drag, so I've compiled a few tips (In plain English - NO tech talk!!) I think will help you learn to use and enjoy it. Even veteran users may find a tip here that refreshes their memory!
Each one of these "tips", and all of the "tidbits" I have gotten from reliable sources and tried/visited myself. I use a "Windows" based system so all tips are for PC's (some "might" work on a Mac). Be sure to read the "disclaimer" at the bottom before you try anything you don't understand.
