We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    WTB Microsoft Office

    I am using Microsoft Office 2003 and would like to upgrade. But, I am not interested in the versions that insist on using the cloud. I also only need Word and Excel. Is there such a product? And, if so, what is the least expensive way to go? I also prefer to buy it outright, not pay a monthly...

    WTB Microsoft Word

    Thanks Bigddybn. I am one from the old school of when you purchase a product, you purchase the product, not rent for a year. And while I appreciate the thought of One Drive for some, I have nearly 4TB of storage I can access through my NAS.

    WTB Microsoft Word

    Thanks for the suggestion. However, my wife would freak out at trying something different. The upgrading of Word would be enough to flip her out. She's still working as a freelance proofreader and copy writer and is basically the one who will use it the most.

    WTB Microsoft Word

    I have a desktop and two laptops with Word 2003 installed (I know no support). I would like to upgrade to something where I do not need to use the "cloud" to store or use the functions. Expense is a factor, as well.

    Is Stereo Sound Twice As Good As Mono?

    Lots of fun stuff here. I started in radio in the 60s on an AM station. For the first few years, I had no idea what stereo was except at certain friends' houses. When the Beatles opened the door to experimental stereo, I got excited. I can't listen to Chicago in mono, it just hurts my senses...

    Last Call For Old School Credit Card Fraud In The U.S.

    It's amazing how many retailers in the US have not moved to the chip. There are even fewer who are accepting Samsung Pay or other phone type payments.

    Last Call For Old School Credit Card Fraud In The U.S.

    First time we ran into the "chip issue" was in France. Never heard of them before this. We were at a fine restaurant and the waitress was trying to insert my non-chip card and could not make it work until a gentleman at a neighboring table told her she needed to swipe instead. lightbulb.

    Samsung 950 PRO [Official Thread]

    Please excuse the new kid on the block. I have heard the SSDs may not be as reliable as one would hope. I would love to have the speed, but I have some questions. Can I transfer my Windows 10 to a new SSD? How long can I expect the SSD to be reliable (I am on my 7 days a week for about five...
