Tech Answers

We've been in the technology business all our working lives, and sometimes we take what we do for granted. Our friends know this and often ask us questions about current technology. Sometimes they want speficics about how to set up a home network, what to look for in a digital camera, what is HDTV all about or how can they benefit from Voice over IP technology. We're always happy to tell them what we know, and we have learned that the key is to keep it simple and concise.

That's what this site is all about...making technology simple. If you are a geek, you may not like it here, because we aren't going to go into all the nitty-gritty details that we all love (at least one of us here is a geek at heart, too!). But what we will do is talk about technology and try to offer information we would have liked to know about when we started researching these subjects.

The sites below are in weblog or "blog" format because this makes it easy for us to update and for you to read. But unlike typical blogs, they may not always be updated every day because we are off doing other things as well. We have a life with grandchildren, travel, grandchildren, culture, and did we mention grandchildren? So that keeps us kind of busy, but we do want to do something useful here, so please feel free to send us comments as you like. Comments can be sent from our ITapestry site.

Finally, one of the things that keeps websites going is advertising revenue, so if you see something you like in some of our ads while looking around, please click on it. It costs you nothing, but it helps us keep things going. Enjoy!

This site is dedicated to the millions of people who are just beginning to hear about Voice over IP (VoIP) and would like to know in simple terms why it is important and what it can do for them. It is a subject of increasing interest these days, but most of the resources found on the subject are steeped in technical jargon and terminology. Our goal is to sidestep this jargon and get down to the basics - we want to tell you why you should be interested in VoIP and what it's use could mean to you today and in the future.

This site was created for folks who are new to digital photography or are just interested in learning about the subject. We will try to stick to the basics and talk about the considerations important to those wishing to purchase use their first "digicam" or perhaps upgrade to the latest and greatest.
