The things that peeve us!

First Segment: Emails that have too many fonts! Distracting! Take the vanity out of the email! The number one reason we send email is to have someone read it… right?

Second Segment: Try switching to plain text for a month… please! We also talk about the basics of cut/copy/paste.

Third Segment: Send us corrections! We talk about some keyboard shortcuts… We also help define “browser”

Energy saving talk.

We decide to talk about saving energy… Sorry we didn’t save it by shutting up! Should I turn off my computer? We talk about Energy Star and what it is…

Second Segment: We continue to talk about the ups and downs of turning off your computer or keeping it on. Computers might still work even if they won’t restart.

Third Segment: We finally reveal what we do with our OWN computers….
