Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What happens when you go into the App Store, and click on Updates?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The only outstanding update is iPhoto.

There’s this, then.

It looks like I need to figure out what happened to the printer library.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

When I try to log onto Facebook, either on my home computer or on my work computer, I get a warning that malware may have infected my computer. Both computer are Macbooks. It gives me a link to [link] and says to run the anti-virus software there, and then click a box to certify that I've run it, but there isn't any antivirus software there to run -- there's just information about how to say what apps are allowed to run. Is this something I need to worry about?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hard to believe, but it's probably malware.

I suggest downloading the free Malwarebytes for Mac [link] it's worth trying.

Thanks. I did a scan with Avira, and it found nothing, so I figured it's probably OK. It seemed weird to get the alert on two different computers.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, I've decided that in January - assuming I get an actual raise and not one like last year's where my take-home pay went DOWN after the "raise" kicked in - that I'll upgrade to an actual smartphone. I've been using my old flip phone (try not to laugh - I'll get enough of that when I turn it in).

Any suggestions for which phone? Basically, I want to make phone calls and do a little texting; my hair salon has gone to text-only reminders and the dumbphone won't let me reply. When I try to hit "c" to confirm, it autocorrects to "Cab" ... NOT the message I want to send.

Coding and Sleeping

Well, if you are looking for just the basics, I'm pretty happy with my Moto E that costs like $50.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Todd, I used a flip phone until February of this year. I use a Moto G, which is either the model before Gud's Moto E, or the one after it, and it's great for basic stuff.
