What’s so great about an Ipad anyway?  They are fragile, you have to buy extra apps just to do word processing and you can’t even backup data to a flash drive.  Good luck typing on the thing.  If you’re going to buy one, get a Squaretrade warranty.  BOB’S HOHO: The Polish and Italian football teams were playing.  Neither team could score.  The Polish team had the ball and a car backfired.  The Italian team thought it was the half time gun and ran off the field.  Three plays later the Polish team punted.

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Did you ever take your empty ink cartridge to a local Ink Refill store, get it refilled, take it home and IT DIDN’T WORK?  That’s because the Ink Cartridge should “settle” for a day or two after filling before being used.  Bet you went right home and tried to use it.  An Ink refill is like a fine wine – it needs to settle.  BOB’S HOHO: I went to my doctor because my foot hurt and I couldn’t walk.  My doctor said, “No prob lem, you’ll be walking in no time!” He took my car.

Bob’s Special Tip – Buying a new notebook

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

 Me and the guys have a tip for you.   Some things to consider if you are buying a new notebook. Determine what you will be using the laptop computer for. This will help determine needs in terms of performance, size, weight, storage capacity and battery life. Points to consider are:   Will you be using this system anywhere other than your home?  If so then weight of the system and screen size will be a factor to consider. Will you be running several different programs or doing  editing, photos, or videos?  You need computing power. Will you want to watch movies and videos on this system? If so then you may want a dedicated video processor and perhaps a larger screen. If you will be using the laptop in bright rooms or outdoors then consider a non-glare screen. Do you have large number of documents, music and video files that you will want to store on your laptop?  Then opt for a larger hard disk drive.   I DON’T UNDERSTAND: I tried Flintstones vitimans.  I don’t feel any better, but now I can stop my car with my feet.

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011
