It’s one of those arguments to consider a “pre-owned” vehicle when shopping for transportation rather than waste your money on that new care smell. http://www.khon2.com/features/supergeeks/16020522.html The Problem: You and your computer have a lot in common. Take stairs, for example. Race up a flight of steps and you’re most likely fine. Perhaps a bit out of breath, but nonetheless ready for the next thing. Now carry a bag of groceries while bounding up those same stairs and your pace is noticeably slower. Add five bags of groceries and you are almost certainly climbing at a slower clip. http://www.khon2.com/features/supergeeks/15582172.html http://www.khon2.com/features/supergeeks/14901831.html The Problem: We are only a month into the new year and it already feels like the recent holiday season was years ago.

I like going to the mall, watching the people and seeing what’s new. But when it comes to buying something, I prefer to just buy it online and have it delivered to me. No traffic delays, no parking headaches, and no heavy lifting. (Online retailers will often do the wrapping for you, too!) So what’s the newbie online shopper to do? http://www.khon2.com/features/supergeeks/11812836.html The Problem: It’s the holiday season again. Seems to just creep up on us just when we’re finally settling into the rhythms of summer. With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, it’s time to start thinking about the gift-giving.
