The majority of us owns an inkjet printer and uses it frequently at home as well as in the office.

When you use the term PC many of us think of Microsoft but what I am really referring to is the personal computer in general.

More and more of our time spent on a PC is spent online. There are more and more features available online that we used to have on our desktop. Email, storing phot... more...

Some homes and offices have finished basements that they use as more than just a storage space. Some homeowners turn their basements into an entertainment center or a spare bedroom. Some offices utilize the basement as an extra office space or a storage space for documents and files not frequently used. But sometimes even with all the work that has been done- waterproofing the basement, installing a sump pit and a sump pump, placing water-proof carpeting- flooding in the basement can not always ... more...

And you have not saved the changes you have made to your document--or not recently, anyway.

Kicking the computer some... more...
