Question from Lois:  I use a computer all day at work and it’s gets pretty boring. I’d like to listen to music while I work.

My boss said he doesn’t mind if I listen to a radio but I don’t really have room for one on my small desk.

Is there any way to listen to my favorite radio station on my computer?

Question from Marcel:  I accidentally sat on my laptop and broke the screen and who knows what else inside (it doesn’t do anything when I turn it on).

I removed the 1TB hard drive from the damaged laptop and it appears to be ok. Well, at least it doesn’t appear to be bent or broken in any way.

Can I install this hard drive from the laptop in my desktop computer to give me an additional 1TB of storage?

Question from Tammy:  I’ve used nothing but Windows laptops all my life but I decided to try a MacBook Air this time around.

I think I’m going to like the laptop ok but I hate the Apple Magic Mouse that I bought to go with it. I just can’t seem to get used to it. I guess I’m weird but it just doesn’t feel right in my hand.

My question is can I use a regular 2-button mouse like the ones you use with a Windows computer with it?

Question from Carl:  I read here that you can “span” (i.e. combine) multiple hard drives and use them as one large drive and access them all with a single drive letter.

I have a used, but working 1TB hard drive at home that I could install in my Windows 11 desktop computer to span with the 1TB drive that’s already in it to effectively give me a 2TB drive. (There is an open drive bay to install the second drive.)

Would you mind answering a question about drive spanning for me?  [Read more…]

Q&A: What do repair shops do with abandoned computers?

Posted on June 21, 2025

Question from Melina:  I have a question that I’ve been wondering about for a while now.

I know that computer repair shops must end up with a lot of older computers that the customers don’t want returned to them.

What do the shops do with those old computers?  [Read more…]
