John Broadway returns and joins Andy Taylor to converse about the latest in Technology. Computers systems for both the desktop and laptop have really continued to work well in performance years after they were built or purchased. Andy's Asus K55 has begun to show a slowdown in performance which he believes could be from a system fan beginning to fail.

Looking for a plan on how to roll out a new Desktop Computer, John shares some good tips. A story about a problem which arose with a Lenovo system however the company’s customer service took care of the situation. Once again, Broadway calls in the best NASCAR reference for explaining RAID.
The guys disagree on the Need for Anti-Virus third party programs for consumers. Over the years the AV programs have changed with results over time that became bloated. Andy swears by the Latest version of Norton however John calls on the Windows Defender program as a good source however reminds, it is about user education to not be click happy!
The computer professionals hired to work on your computer systems should be checked out for references. John feels that background certification should be required as a way to protect end users. Listener comments for Broadway thanking him for his Military service but also praise for his support for Ubiquity products. Why Smartphone are’s so pricey? Are they offering better features?
