Yerkotech Computer Solutions has a new instant remote control support feature on its website.
Yerkotech now has the capability to fix your computer no matter where you are located. You click on the remote support link, the software installs itself and connects to a Yerkotech technician, then you sit back and watch while the technician fixes your computer. When the technician is done, the software automatically removes itself from your computer.
This software is also useful for remote training sessions. If you have a question about how to do something on your computer and would like to be shown exactly where to click, feel free to give us a call.

I have various motivational quotes posted on the walls in my home office. I’ve decided to post them periodically as a motivation to others as well.

While doing some research on this today I found an open source utility called TrueCrypt. This utility allows you to create a virtual encrypted disk within a file or encrypt an entire hard disk partition or usb flash drive. Encryption occurs on the fly and without user intervention once the flash drive is mounted. This is unlike the Sandisk utility which requires the user to encrypt and decrypt the files on the flash drive. Check it out if you need on the fly encryption.
