Question from Delores: Hi Rick. I hope you can answer a question for me about Facebook.
Is there any way to find out if a person I sent a friend request to has received it?

Question from Pauline: I have a question for you Rick.
I’ve been using a 7 inch Android tablet for my Facebooking but the battery recently went bad in it.
Instead of buying another Android tablet I decided to try an iPad. I ended up buying a 10.9 inch model which is a bit larger than what I was used to.
I didn’t know what to expect because I’d never owned anything from Apple before, but I found out that I really love it.
I’m having one problem though. I could hold the 7 inch tablet by its sides and type with my thumbs, but I can’t do that with the larger iPad because the keys are spread out too far.
Do you know if there’s a way to make it easier to type on my new iPad using my thumbs? Maybe by using an app, perhaps? [Read more…]
Question from Brandon: A guy I play games with online told me how to overclock my computer to make it run the games faster.
I followed his instructions and did it and everything was great for about 2 days.
Then I must have downloaded a virus or something because my computer has started acting strange. It’s locking up on me and shutting down on its own.
I ran my virus checker but it didn’t find anything so I want to follow your instructions to reset Windows 10 to see it that will fix it.
If I reset Windows will it wipe out the overclocking? I’d hate to have to go through all those BIOS settings again.
