ARCHIVE   

Here's my collected literary works.  Or, to be more precise, here's a list of all the articles and columns I've written since moving to Florida.  Most, but not all, originally appeared in the online newsletter of the Tampa Bay Computer Society, Bits & Bytes.  To "flesh out" the list, I've decided to start self-publishing here, on a semi-regular basis.

Click on a link to read the document online, or right-click to download and save for offline perusal.  Note:  Saving in this manner will not save the images embedded in the page; to get them, open the page normally — with a left-click — then click on  File  »  Save As, and choose either Web Page, Complete (*.htm) or Web Archive, single file (*.mht) as the Save format.

Please note:  This is an archive; the files aren't current, though they were when I wrote them.  Some of the links on the pages are still good, but some have probably expired.  And most of the programs I recommend on these old pages, I no longer recommend, for one reason or another.  If you're looking for a current recommendation, please check out my Download Page.

That's it so far...  Please bookmark this page, and check back often.   And please tell your friends about this page and this site.   I have this grandiose idea that I can help make personal computing easier and safer for a large number of people, but that won't happen if they don't know to come looking for help.

All of the ideas and solutions on this site are common knowledge, so no one can own them — not me, nor the people I stole them from.  If you substantially copy my wording, please credit me and include a link back to this site.

Thanks.

And 100% of your labor charges go to this rescue, too.
