Question from Rose: Hi, Rick. First of all let me say that I love your tips. They have helped me out of many jams over the years.

I hope you can help me with a new problem I’m dealing with right now.

I have three different Yahoo email accounts that I use for different purposes and it would be a big help to me if I could stay signed into all of them at the same time.

The problem is the only way I can sign in to a different Yahoo account with Edge is to sign out of the one I’m currently signed into first. Is there any way that I can sign into all of them at once? [Read more…]

Question from Kenny: I use my computer to watch a few TV shows every night before I go to sleep. The last show I watch goes off at 11pm.

The problem is I often fall asleep before the last show goes off and my computer stays on all night. I don’t like that.

Question from Gloria: Hi, Rick. I have a question for you. Is it possible to watch YouTube videos in slow motion?

I’m taking a dance class and every week we are assigned a set of instructional dance videos to watch on YouTube.

The problem I’m having is the dancers move so quickly that I have trouble following (and learning) the steps. One of the hazards of getting older I guess.

I usually watch these videos on my desktop computer, but I occasionally watch them on my phone as well.

Is there some way to slow YouTube videos down to make them easier to follow? [Read more…]

I mostly use Chrome if that makes a difference. Thanks!!!! [Read more…]
