​Printing by the numbers

July 27th, 2016

By Chuck Solly

Space prohibits me from doing a full-blown comparison of computer printers. There are many kinds and features, but what I can do is point you to a type of printer based on your printer needs.

​Your Ebay business/hobby

July 20th, 2016

By Chuck Solly

There are many opinions about Ebay. If you talk to 100 people about buying or selling on Ebay you will get 100 different stories.

Trustpilot.com is a web site that allows everyone to express their opinions about any web site. They have most of those stories. Since Ebay is all over the world, many of these stories are from Europe with the USA stories mixed in.

July 13th, 2016

In the world of Innistrad, the state of affairs has always been grim. Human settlements struggle to hold back an ever-present darkness in the form of vampires, werewolves, ghosts, ghouls, and demons.

​Trolling for information

July 13th, 2016

By Chuck Solly

How much information can you consume? Does your brain fill up very quickly? The internet search engines (used properly) will certainly fill up your brain. So what is a guy/girl to do?

Use your time, brainpower and search engines wisely. I have a digital clock on my computer screen and I keep track of the time I spend on a project. Staring at a computer screen for a few hours will make your eyes sting. Get up, move around, get some food or water. The Internet will be there…
