22 Sept Technology Tips
Remember Driver’s Education: You can test your driving skills and understanding of what you learned. For parents of children approaching driving age, they can practice to help them when they take their state’s test. It’s written only, so don’t worry about parallel parking! http://www.autoinsurance.org/driving_test/
Lenovo Has Issued A Battery Recall: Fortunately, the batteries are not being recalled due to safety concerns. Rather, they are faulty and don’t work correctly. Users may receive messages such as “Battery cannot be charged.” The recall affects batteries in six ThinkPad models. Lenovo has a diagnostic tool on its site. If you own a ThinkPad, visit Lenovo’s site. If your battery is defective, Lenovo will issue a replacement battery.
Digitize Your Signature: A scanner is an easy way to digitize your signature. Simply sign a piece of white paper and scan it into your computer. Then, drop it into documents. You can use your camera in lieu of a scanner. Again, sign a white piece of paper. Then, snap a photo of it. A graphics tablet is probably the best way to digitize your signature. You open a new file in a graphics program like MS Paint. Use the pen included with the tablet to sign your name.
