How’s this for a Techie Weekend? I discovered the problem with what happened to my old lappy. I knew that it got a virus which basically wiped out its memory of ever having an operating system and I sort of knew where I got the virus but it wasn’t until today that I found out [...]
Techie Weekend: TweetDeck!
