I’ve been meaning to write a post mentioning that I’ve set up my site to automatically add the majority of audio and video computer training which I post to this blog to my podcast, and show you how you can subscribe for free.

This latest computer question comes from Taj Abed who writes:

“Hello, thanks for information. I want to know about PC safety, please describe it to me. I really need to find out about it.”

This latest question comes from reader Edy Hall who has a question about options she has for broadband living in a rural area:
“Hi Worth,
Thanks for this msg…. I have a question – I live in the “bush” out Kalapana way.  Is that Coconut wireless a good choice for reliable internet with a little speed???
Thanks,  Edy”

In my answer I, as usual, don’t just quickly answer Edy’s specific question but give you a complete audio lesson that helps you understand some of the basic differences between a few of the broadband options, and how they contrast in speed to dialup (which may be the only option in many rural areas).

In this latest audio lesson I answer a computer question from a subscriber named Frazer Ames who writes:

“Hi Worth,
I just read the article on your website regarding modems and video chat. One of the things I have never understood about computers is this; what exactly is a modem and what does it do? I thought they were an essential part of all computers and had something to do with the speed, but I’ve never really understood.
