I am often asked what can be done with old computers and other electronics. You shouldn’t throw things like that away, most electronics contain some amounts of not so environmentally friendly materials. Well I have good news, you can take your old used up electronics to TECH and recycle them, free of charge! The recycling program is called e-Cycle and is a free service provided by TECH.

As you may already know, when you delete files from your computer, they aren't actually deleted. Instead they are moved to a folder called the "Recycle Bin" were they will live forever until you empty the Recycle Bin. This is both good and bad. On one hand it gives you the opportunity to recover files…
Are you constantly switching back and forth between multiple programs? Well if you don't have multiple monitors, which I HIGHLY recommend, you can achieve a similar result using Windows Snap. Windows Snap is a feature introduced in Windows 7 that allows you to quick snap two windows side by side. This is very helpful if you…
