: Wondering How Your Password Ended Up in a Breach? - Why You May Still Want a Computer Even If You Have a Tablet

Spring is officially here! This is a great time to renew and refresh. April’s Computer Techs Newsletter has arrived with monthly technology tips to simplify your life at work and home!

Mobile devices are being used more often for activities we used to do on a PC. But that doesn’t necessarily mean your tablet can replace your computer. We’ll tell you why.

Next, we delve into how your password can become compromised even if you didn’t have a breach yourself.

To close things out, we highlight how we can help prevent overbuying internet service, and help with Wi-Fi optimization for the best experience possible throughout your home.

If your computer is slow to start or open programs – that has nothing to do with your internet speed.
