Question from Rhonda C.: A few days ago I got a text message from Microsoft saying my computer has a virus and that I need to delete System 32, but I can’t find it on the list of programs to remove.
I texted them back and asked them what I need to do, but I haven’t heard back from them. Can you tell me how to find System 32 so I can delete it?

Today’s “Picture of the Day” features a nighttime composite photo of the United States from the vantage point of the inhabitants of the International Space Station.
Even though California is our most populous state, it’s easy to tell from this image that most of the U.S. population actually lives in the eastern half of the country.
I hope you like this image as much a I do.

Your mouse wheel makes it easy to scroll down most any page web, but if you spend a lot of time on Facebook there’s a better way: Use your keyboard!

Pressing the J key on your keyboard will instantly display the next post in its entirety (if it will fit on the screen) without having to move your mouse up and down to center the post. [Read more…]
Question from Keith W: Hi Rick. I hope you can help me figure out what I just bought.
One of my neighbors sold me a used MacBook that she inherited after a family member passed away. She let me have it for $50 just to get rid of it!
She doesn’t really know anything about the model or specs of the machine, and I don’t either because I’m a Windows guy. All we know is it’s a MacBook.
What I’d like to know is do Macs have a ‘System Information’ screen like the one in Windows that’ll tell me what’s inside this thing? I plan to sell it (hopefully at a profit) so I need to know exactly what’s in it.
