Happy New Year!

I wish you and yours a very happy 2010.

At a NYE dinner party someone at the table said he was in his 10th decade. I knew he was 80, and that he was born in 1929. So he had lived during the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and now the 10s decades. Count them up. That is indeed 10 decades.

I didn't like that idea but of course had to check my own, and found that I am entering my 8th decade! Now that is not a fun way to look at this new year, in which I hope we all may find peace, health, safety, and good times and memories with our families.

Happy New Year!

12000

I started this blog back in February of 2008. That's about 2 years now, and there have been over 12000 hits, or views, of the blog. That is more than 500 a month, or about 17 views a day. That is small potatoes for many web sites, but pretty good for a local PC Doc.

So I say thank you to those of you who are faithful regular visitors.

I have about 300 customers on my address list, however, so this number also shows that most are not regular visitors. I wish I could get more of my customer base to check in more regularly. A lot of what I post has to do with preventive steps we users can take to avoid problems, so the more one views the blog, the fewer problems one will experience. Please encourage others to look here once in a while. There are 5 posts on a page, so visiting once a week will show the viewer the past week's posts.

Search this site

I am happy to say that Google has finally made a fairly good search engine available for searching this blog. Just to the right of this post you will see a small Google search window. You can now enter a search argument and you will get all hits that are on this blog. Those of you who, like me, have had to go through the archive list, also to the right and lower down, to fine an old post, can now just use the new search facility. Note that when you do the results will be displayed with 3 tabs up on top. Be sure to check (view) the contents of all 3 tabs.
