Al Lustie's Tips and Tricks

Once in awhile I like to share applications (apps) that work for me.  I use Macs and Windows computers, and my iPad, iPod and iPhone every day.  The operative word is "use".  I do not use any application up to its fullest potential.  For instance, I am very, very happy with Evernote.  I use it to keep track of ideas for blogs, for instance.  It synchronized between my devices, so when I get an idea (except when driving) I can jot it down on my iPhone or iPad and when I get to a WiFi spot it shows up on my Mac or Windows machine.

I can sort things, categorized items, tag entries, add sketches, create sticky notes, associate ideas with places.  I can copy from and copy to my entries.  I can delete when something is no longer applicable.

If you have not checked out Evernote, please do.  You will probably figure out many ways to use it I have not even thought about.

According to Security Watch of PC Magazine, Microsoft rolled out a "fix" for Internet Explorer this morning, May 2nd, 2014.  They are even including Windows XP, although they continue to encourage XP users to "move on" to a newer version of Windows.

I still recommend avoiding Internet Explorer and using Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or Safari.  The nasty hackers attack them all, but Internet Explorer seems to be the prime target and that means IE users bank accounts, identities, and credit cards are prime targets as well.

Be safe.  (Leave a comment if you have experiences you want to share.)
