Question from Toniah: My mom recently passed away and we had to clean out her house so it could be listed for sale.
While going through one of her closets I found an old Kodak 110 camera with a half-used roll of film in it.
Are there any places that still process 110 film? [Read more…]
Question from Laurie: My son had been begging me for a new iPhone for a while so I finally gave in and got him one for his birthday.
My own phone was starting to have battery issues so I decided to take over my son’s old iPhone after he received the new one.
The problem my son’s name still shows up when I log into certain apps on his hand-me-down iPhone.
How do I change the name of this phone from my son’s name to mine? [Read more…]

Question from Mickey: I have an older Acer desktop computer that’s running Windows 10.
I want to add a 2nd screen to that machine just to display my Gmail, but the problem is it has just one video output port.
Can I buy something like a splitter that’ll let me hook up two monitors to one video port? [Read more…]
Question from Beverly: A man I work with but barely know sent me a nasty picture and a really disturbing comment in an instant message via Facebook Messenger and it really upset me.
I’d like to report him to HR but I’m afraid he’ll delete the picture and message before they have a chance to investigate.

Question from Kelly: I recently sent a friend request to a friend of mine after I found out she’s on Facebook. It’s been over a week and it still says “Friend Request Sent”.
I used your site’s search box and found this post where you answered a similar question for a woman named Delores, but my situation is a little different from hers.
Apparently Delores’ friend was receiving her friend requests and declining them because she was able to send multiple requests. But my friend hasn’t responded at all because the button still says “Friend Request Sent”.
I know this person has been on Facebook every day since the friend request was sent because she’s been posting like crazy. That’s why I’m thinking it was never received. Is there any way to know for sure that she has received it? [Read more…]
