Upcoming Show

Internet Advisor, 5-7 PM, Saturday, July 31, 2010

No Comments »

You might call the topic for our show this week: Browser Wars.  In the past, few people thought about choosing a browser for surfing the Internet because the majority of us used PC’s running Microsoft operating systems equipped with Internet Explorer.  Nowadays there are a lot of other options and depending on  your point of view, much better options.  This Saturday join Gary Baker, Ed Rudel, Cal Carson and Foster Braun as they discuss the pro’s and con’s of the browsers you can use to surf the Internet.

We will start our open lines during the first hour at 1-800 859-09571-800-859-0WJR for your computer questions and you will also enjoy our weekly The Mac Minute with Erik Anderson giving you the latest Apple news.
