If you’ve followed my last two posts, then you know my beloved MacBook Pro had to go in for repairs to the graphics card, which means they replaced my logic board (for free). Everything seemed to go well, but when I got it back, I noticed the trackpad wouldn’t scroll. I could grab the scroll barContinue reading “The Fix: MacBook Pro Trackpad Scrolling Issue”

MacBook Video Card Repair Conclusion
In my last post, I wrote about how my 2011 MacBook Pro died, due to the common issue with the graphics card. I had been experiencing all the symptoms of weird lines (artifacts) across my screen, random restarts, and finally the inability to boot up the computer at all. That’s what led me to biteContinue reading “MacBook Video Card Repair Conclusion”
MacBook Pro Video Repair
Maybe you’ve heard of this story: 2011 MacBook Pros with bad graphics cards that get weird lines on the screen, restart randomly, and then die. I had read about it, fortunately, and I knew it was starting to happen to mine, but yesterday it suddenly went from bad to worse.

Apple TV vs Samsung SmartHub
I promise, this will be the last post about our Samsung Not-So-Smart TV! If you’ve followed the saga, then you’ll understand why I gave up and bought an Apple TV. The question I want to answer with this post is: was it worth it? I bought a refurbished Apple TV for $75 plus tax fromContinue reading “Apple TV vs Samsung SmartHub”
Samsung ‘Smart’ TV Review
Awhile ago, I wrote that our Smart TV wasn’t that smart. We have a Samsung UN40H6350AFXZA, and I’m glad we got a good deal on it, because I’ve finally given up on its smart features. When we bought it, the reviews said Samsung had the best browser and it could connect with an iOS device usingContinue reading “Samsung ‘Smart’ TV Review”
How Smart are Smart TVs?
First, let me say that we’re pretty happy with our Samsung SmartTV in terms of its picture quality. It was a good replacement for our previous model that bit the dust (don’t ask). And it does stream Netflix relatively well, even if browsing titles is more than a little clumsy. But the promise of theContinue reading “How Smart are Smart TVs?”
ATT DSL Woes Resolved (for now ?)
When we came home from our Christmas travels, we had a little time on our hands and wanted to watch some Netflix streaming. Fortunately, we also had a couple of DVD’s to watch, since our DSL connection speeds had dropped to the point that Netflix wouldn’t load. I tested our connection using speedtest.net and got speedsContinue reading “ATT DSL Woes Resolved (for now ?)”
New Year’s Resolution: Clean My Desktop
This one is rather easy to accomplish, though it may be harder to keep! Did you know that leaving files on your desktop can slow down your computer’s performance significantly? I do, and yet I still put them there for easy access. This year, my resolution was to clean off this space and start afresh.Continue reading “New Year’s Resolution: Clean My Desktop”
