  • A quick way to speed up Web surfing on all your computers

    In every case I’ve seen so far, a quick, easy and free change in the DNS settings of their home Internet router fixes the problem. Switching the router from using the ISPs default DNS service to a faster, more efficient public DNS gives an immediate and noticeable improvement in browsing [...]

Funny Video: iPad Keynote Superlatives Edit

Also Known As (aka) “The Reality Distortion Field Remix”

Thanks to Mark Spain for pointing out this video on YouTube at the FLMUG main meeting on Feb 11, 2010.  It gave us all a good laugh.  A comedy news show might have a counter for each word off to the side.  :-)

Mail Won’t Quit?

Here’s a quick tip I noticed recently:  if you’ve told Apple’s Mail program to quit, but it just won’t finish what it was doing, try this: disconnect the network.

If you are connected by wifi,  turn off the airport in the menu bar or System Preferences panel.  If you are connected by wire, unplug it.
