I'm not very computer savvy but I have a question that I would love some help with.I have an oldish HP mini netbook that my wife and I mainly used for web browsing. Recently, it took a short fall and Windows stopped working (we had another one previously that the same thing happened to , and my tech-savvy FIL said it was toast, hence giving us his unused one) This time around, I had explored the computer a little more and discovered it had something called HP QuickWeb, which boots and runs…See More

Geek Personality Spectrum: Introversion

Posted on March 27, 2012 at 9:10pm 3 Comments

It explains why I am indebted to the GeekDad blog, and am excited for this new GeekDad community, where, hopefully, I can really feel like I am a part of. The original follows:
