If you're buying a personal computer (laptop of desktop), we recommend Apple Mac (or iPad), especially if you have an iPhone. Why?
- Generally much easier to setup and use
- If you have an iPhone, your photos, contacts, notes, and more will be readily accessible on your new Mac or iPad, plus settings operate similarly between iPhone, iPad, and Mac
- We find Macs to have much fewer software and update issues
- The latest Macs and iPads are incredibly fast, incredibly efficient (great battery life and no noisy fans running), and excellent quality.
- Includes the ability to edit PDFs (paid add-on for Windows)
- Includes great productivity software (Pages, Numbers, KeyNote) - no need to get Microsoft 365 subscription
- It's a myth that Macs are more expensive. The latest Mac Mini starts at $599 ($499 for students) and the iMac starts at $1299 with an excellent screen.
- Printing "just works"
- Apple is focused on user privacy and no 'junk' installed out of the box
- In comparison, Windows has become very aggressive at grabbing all the data they can about you and most people do not know how to turn off the many tracking features
- We could go on... 😀

Very bad security breach at Microsoft. We are a Google Partner, we use and recommend Google Workspace, which is also compatible with 365 files (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.)

Senior execs' emails accessed in network breach that wasn't caught for 2 months.

Our thoughts on the Lastpass security breach. If you use Lastpass, we are not concerned unless either of the following is true. 1) You used your master password on other sites, or 2) Your master password wasn't strong (less than 12 characters). Without the master password, hackers cannot use the data they acquired. If either of those are true, you should change passwords on all sites stored in Lastpass and make your Lastpass master password strong. We can advise how to come up with an easy to remember very strong master password.

If you've wanted Adobe's creative cloud for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, we can highly recommend a vastly less expensive alternative that's on even better sale right now.

From the smoothest photo editing and design software to next-gen page layout, Affinity is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with creative technology.

We frequently see iPhone and iPad users with HUNDREDS of tabs still open on Safari, and the owners are not aware of it.

To see how many you have and close them:

1. Open Safari.
2. Touch and keep your finger on the "tabs" (two overlapping squares)
3. Select Close All Tabs.

Watch out for text messages you receive that are from... YOU. They're fake and the links are dangerous, don't click/touch them!

Saw this and sharing... your passwords don't have to be crazy complicated, but they DO need to be long! You can make them a sentence even - "MyDog'sNameIsSpot!" is a great password.

Stay safe out there!
