Hello All,
For the past several months, when I go to the opening page for this bulletin board, my Userid and asterisked Password appear as does the Forever duration.  Clicking on the Forever button logs me in but if I close the browser, I use Chrome, I have to log in just like before.  I did not stay logged in as promised by the Forever button.
This small annoyance finally irritated me enough to look for a solution.  I have my browser set to refuse all cookies.  If I allow a cookie to be set for a given site, I will remain logged in, fixing this self-inflicted issue.
I have created a video screen capture of how to manage cookies in Chrome.  View it at www.fullbean.com/tutorials/cookies.mp4

Hello All,


I have created a number of tutorials on my web site, mainly as a reminder to myself as to how I did something.
My latest creations are a re-post of Google's Search Operands and
How to back up and restore your e-mail on Outlook 365 (desktop, not web mail)

A better question is "How many USB flash drives do you have?" Way too many...

Ask me at the next meeting what I plan to do with some of my older USB 2 flash drives.

I use a Brother P-Touch 1290 Label Printer which has been discontinued. I picked that up for under $10 years ago. You will have to look for a comparable updated model.

I have been using Case Logic 6 Capacity USB Flash Drive Shuttle cases for years. You can actually put 12 and on some USB drives 24 in a case. I have a lot of these cases.

I also use a eye glass case that is next to my computer that has a variety of USB flash drives in it.

I purchased from Home Depot a small parts box which contains a variety of cables, adapters and older USB flash drives. The older smaller USB 2 flash drives I use to update BIOS on computers which do not run Windows.

A couple of shots...

Hi Dick,

Thanks for the feedback.  Like you, I am wary of relying on the Cloud for backup of critical files.  I prefer to do my own backups on local media that I choose and control.
Nonetheless, I recently uploaded all of my digital photos to Amazon Cloud Drive.  At 35.2 Gb, this took almost 30 hours.  Almost all of the images are also on my web site and in several locations off-line. 

I used Amazon Cloud Drive so that future images that I take on my Smart Phone will be uploaded automatically. 
Since I am a member of Amazon Prime, my $99/yr membership gives me unlimited photo storage at no additional charge.

Thank you for the information, Ralph.  I, too, am a recent Prime member, and am still learning about the options included.  So far, the only thing I don't like, is the number of items that I bought or considered that did not qualify for Prime free shipping.  They are well labeled, but its still frustrating.
