    Wireless Extender -- what am I looking for?

    Jason I'm an AV guy familiar with many repeaters / extenders on the market, and they're a mixed bag between very good and very frustrating. I've had the best luck with Netgear. And their range in cost of $60-$120 But I've just "discovered" the TP-Link TL-WPA4220KIT. Its not a repeater, but...

    hardwiring Pandora from desktop to home stereo...

    I second the Chromecast Audio. Its not perfect, but you may love it, and its a bargain at $35. Otherwise any or all of the prior ideas are good. The downside of them is that you'll be broadcasting all your computers notifications out thru your stereo system. Try the Chromecast audio. ( Make sure...

    AT&T DSL Help

    I talk to Comcast regularly regarding customer problems, without being on-site. You would need to ID her, via address and phone # on the account typically. You might need last 4 of her SS#. But I routinely can get Comcast to reset their products. ( I'm a tech / AV guy ) good luck!

    A good simple calendar

    I've been using Google Calendar for a few years. You can use it at face value, real simple, or share it with others, and choose whether or not they can edit their respected shared calendar. So I suggest you try it, and grow with it. Its the standard of Android phones & tablets.

    Help! PC issues! BSOD 45 mins after startup?

    From my experience: Open the case & blow out the dust, especially collecting on the processor. I like Glary Utilities (Free version is fine - run & apply fixes) Install updates it finds, Reboot. See if this helps; good luck Reb
