SAVE THE DATE of Saturday, May 4th for the Cinco de Mayo Poker Run at Buzzards Bay Cantina.  This annual event is packed with FUN and ADVENTURE that will have you hanging GOOD FRIENDS having GREAT TIMES.  Pat McGee will be Ride Captain and is plotting the course while Criselia is working the MAGIC with a FOOD and DRINK special that will fill your belly and knock the dust off. Sign up now at Buzzards to get more information and lock your place.  See you here!
========================================

     Lets talk Anti-Virus programs.  Let me see a show of hands from those of you who pay for an Anti-Virus program.  Just as I thought, about half.  Most popular paid Anti-Virus programs do a very good job of cleaning and protecting your computer, especially if you have a teenager in the family.  But, there is a cost not only financially but also speed and performance of the computer.  For the past three years I have used the free program from Microsoft called Security Essentials.  I have not noticed any degradation in performance, after all they have the codes for the operating system.  Norton and McAfee will slow the performance of the computer by 15 - 20% and may cause unintended problems because those programs are deeply imbedded in all parts of the operating systems and programs.  I go to a lot of strange places on the web and have not had a virus in many years.  But, I don't have a teenager in the house.   Search for "Microsoft Security Essentials English" and you should land on the correct Microsoft web page.  If you really want to pay for one, use Nod 32 from ESET.  Remember Windows 8 has an antivirus built-in. There is no need to add on with Windows 8.  Mac - so far, so good. No viruses in the wild for a Mac.  Nothing in the Android systems (phones or tablets) or IOS devices (Ipad, Iphone, etc).

     USB 3.0 is the latest protocol for Universal Serial Bus cables. Those are the cables that most commonly attach external devices to the computer.  You can tell if it's 3.0 capable by the little blue tab in the connector.  In order for you to get the optimal speed from USB 3.0 you must have a port in the computer that has the blue tab as well.  Any extension cable must be compatible as well.  I use that system to back up "My Documents" and "My Photos".  It takes just seconds with 3.0.  I was going to remind you to back up your data but you already guessed that.

     Code named "Blue".  That's the very strong rumor from Microsoft. Windows 8.1 (code named "Blue") will be released late summer and we will finally have our "classic start" circle and all that old familiar stuff.  the  computerguy (thecomputerguy@usa.com)
