Welcome to Tech Bytes Episode 1: Firefox Tips and Tricks. I'm Kevin, and this is the first of many tech bytes to come. Tech Bytes are little morsels of technology tips and tricks delivered in 15 minutes or less. This week we are going to discuss how you can get the most out of your web browser. Now, since you are listening to a show called Tech Bytes I'm going to assume that you use Firefox. If you don't use Firefox, I still recommend listening because you may hear about a neat feature that will cause you to switch over to Firefox. I always recommend Firefox because it has historically been more secure than Internet Explorer, is the most feature rich open source browser I have come across, and the power of Firefox is almost limitless due to the functionality of extensions. However, we aren't here to discuss why you should use Firefox, we are going to empower you to use Firefox to its full potential. The tips I'm going to cover today include keyboard shortcuts, mouse shortcuts, and what to do when Firefox locks up on you.

Welcome to Tech Bytes Episode 2: Upgrading Your Computer. I'm Kevin, and this tech byte is ready for consumption. I normally recommend that your replace your computer every 3 to 5 years, but many times you can increase the life of your computer by upgrading a few components at a lower cost than replacing the whole shebang. When I put a computer together I usually try to choose components that allow for an easy upgrade path. However, if you buy a computer from a big company like Dell or HP your upgrade options may be more limited. Regardless of your situation, I'm going to cover the basics so that you can at least make an educated decision on how you should proceed in order to improve your computing performance. Even if you have a computer geek that helps you make these decisions, it can help if you know what he or she is talking about.
