Question from Jean: A good Facebook friend of mine referred me to you regarding how to print out my entire Facebook friend list. Can you tell me how to do it?
Rick’s answer: I love questions like this, Jean. Short, and directly to the point!

What you’ll have to do is use Facebook’s “Download Your Information” tool to download a file containing your Friends List to your computer and then print it from there.

I’m sort of in a panic right now because Zoom – and possibly the hackers – has my debit card information.
I’d like to cancel my Zoom subscription but I can’t find a way to do it.
Can you tell me how to cancel it (or at least give me the link to the page where I do it)?

I was just wondering how they make their money since they let us use their software for free? I’ve never seen them place any ads on my blog.

Question from Kendra: I have three USB flash drives that I use to store various files that I use from time to time.

Can that cause a problem? [Read more…]
