Tiny Tip – Previous Recipients
There’s a rather hidden feature inside Apple Mail that is helping you right now but may trip you up in the future if you don’t know what it does and how to manage it. It’s called Previous Recipients. The problem Previous Recipients solves is this. You get an email from someone with whom you haven’t […]

Bluetooth Dropout FIXED!
I’ve been feeling like the unluckiest Apple fangirl of all time with all the problems I’ve had with my Apple gear in the last year. Most recently you might remember the saga back in August of my 2016 MacBook Pro going belly up (wouldn’t charge). It would only stand out in your memory because my […]

There’s No Place Like Excel
I may have mentioned a few hundred times that I love Excel. I serious dislike PowerPoint, and I see no need for Word, but Excel brings me great joy. I simply love taking piles of data and turning it into information, and Excel is how I do that. There isn’t a pivot table I don’t […]

How to Duplicate a DVD on macOS Sierra
This week in our Google Plus group (podfeet.com/googleplus) Sandy Foster asked a dumb question, which as is usually the case, is not a dumb question at all. The story takes some winding paths, but I assure you that there’s a solution at the end of this story. Her problem to be solved was that a […]

NIST Rules on Two-Factor Authentication & Influencing Banks
One of the best things about being retired is having the time to talk to companies on the phone. When I was working, I would simply let things go that were irritating me because there just wasn’t the time. This week my mission became talking to every bank I deal with about their security model. […]
