With the inter-connectivity of all our modern computer devices, wireless peripherals and networks, it can be overwhelming when you think of all the ways ‘something’ can gain access to your PC.

I know we’ve all heard ad-nauseum about Windows upgrades. Microsoft has been harassing the public non-stop about switching to Windows 10 (and even lost a lawsuit over their practices). But, what if you want to downgrade Windows?
We may not be as prepared for the snow here in the South as other areas; as we’ve seen in the past few days, memories are vivid of the Snowpocalypse from a few years back that shut down Atlanta for two days. Businesses all over Huntsville have been closed this week, schools cancelled class, and people all over Madison County left their jammies on to enjoy being homebound.

We (mostly) avoided Black Friday craziness, but will be at the computer bright and early for great Cyber Monday deals on November 27th. It’s a great opportunity to pick up some early Christmas presents or upgrade some of your technology while prices are slashed. Also, very low risk of being trampled from your living room. Consider this our endorsement!
