When you’re windows XP takes a turn, or your office 2003 does something weird, don’t forget about me, even though you’ll get “We no longer support that release of windows from big Micro$oft” I’ll be happy to help, and with 26 years of experience it won’t take long either. Sure you can call the “big box” geeks, but, they’ll take all day and then tell you, you should reformat your hard drive and start over or worse yet, tell you to upgrade and get help from Microsoft.

Sure the choice is yours, but, spend a little now on a real company that really works as if it was their stuff or call someone who only cares about a buck or two.

PS. I do websites, and web hosting too!!!!

They’ll try anything they can to get you to give yourself a virus. As if emailing you that their your bank wasn’t enough.

Well, the last few weeks I’ve been getting emails that taunt me to click on a zip file that exclaims that an old friend found a picture of me (or of something). Well, even when I started getting them from known email address I still ignored them.

Keep in mind that anyone (and especially the evil ones) can imitate a “From” email address so you’ll think it’s from someone you know. Unless you are expecting it, don’t just click away. What to do with that email? Just delete it!

We believe the customer is always right, but, when has a customer gone too far? We received a post last year that I finally replied to. It was posted on the google play store about the copycat trial version, here is what “a Google User” posted:

Theres no point in downloading!

Its says trial has limited recipe details, but has NO recipe details. All it is, is a list of recipes the full version has. Could atleast put a few recipes to see the ingredients or try out to see how accurate the recipes actually are!

The andriod app version sells for $1.50, not much for 650 recipes the software to search by title, and recipe ingredient, right? Here was our reply:

It’s a trial version, you can see all the recipes available in the complete collection and when you see the ones you want you know they’ll be in the complete version. It too a lot of valuable time to compile and create a program to display so many great recipes in one place.
We’re not trying to be mean, but, isnt a trial a trial?


Update: As of 2014 we change from having a trial and paid version, to a free version that is ad supported. Free Android download available from the Google Play Store HERE
