Shownotes Transcript

We continue with the first hour's caller who asks if a solid state drive is a good choice for backing up, and if a hybrid hard drive would be a good choice when his desktop HP Envy computer eventually fails.  A listener has difficulty changing his Domain Name Service (DNS) to use OpenDNS when using the cable-company provided router.  A caller offers suggestions for the caller in the previous hour with an older TI-99/4A computer--donate it to computer museum.  A listener asks about how to "cut the cord" when purchasing a new house and asks about the Amazon Fire Stick.  A caller tries to get an older printer to get an older Brother printer to work with Windows 10.  A caller wonders why he is getting slow speeds using Firefox in comparison to other browsers.  Our last caller asks about the minumum specifications for a new computer.  We recommend an Intel i5, i7, or i9 processor with a 1 terabyte hard drive or 256 GB solid state drive, and at least 8 GB of RAM memory
