Question from Felicia: I have a blog that I’ve been posting on three times a week since November 2015.
I’m really happy with the success I’m having with it and now I want to try my hand at podcasting to supplement the blog posts.
Can you recommend a good podcast-quality microphone that’s affordable?

Question from Pauline N.: I’m planning to buy a new laptop and give my old one to my daughter.
What I’m looking for is a simple way to transfer my files from the old laptop to the new one.
I was hoping I could just connect the two laptops together with a USB cable and transfer the files that way. Is that possible?

Question from Eleanor: My eyesight isn’t what it used to be Rick, and now that I have a new computer with Windows 10 I sometimes have trouble seeing the mouse pointer.
Years ago my daughter helped me increase the size of the mouse pointer on my old Windows 7 PC, but she’s no longer here to help me do it for Windows 10.
Can you tell me how to do it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Question from Calvin: I have two 8GB DDR4 RAM sticks in my computer. They are identical to one another in every way (I bought them a while back as a 16GB kit).
When I log into the BIOS it says one stick is running at 2400Mhz and the other one is running at 2133Mhz.
I’ve always heard that all the RAM sticks in a PC should operate at the same speed or your system might crash.
Question from Brian: I started writing a blog offering wood-working tips a while back, and I really enjoy it.
I also recently started using Constant Contact to send out an email newsletter for the blog.
My goal is to eventually start earning a living from the blog and newsletter combo.
Overall I’m pretty happy with Constant Contact but I have a question about something in the reports.
