I've fixed some broken links on the Chat Page.
October 21, 2000
I've added new material to and further refined my article on "Home
Networking and the Internet."
October 1, 2000
A little over a week before the site's 3rd anniversary, I'm very
pleased to announce that it's reached the 1
million visit milestone. Over 1 million unique visits have been served
by EverythingComputers since its launch on October 11, 1997. Thanks to all
of you who've helped me reach that goal and here's to the next couple of
million!
September 30, 2000
I've updated and improved the "Repartitioning,
Reformatting and Reinstalling" article from the Troubleshooting
Guide with more info on Windows 2000 and Windows ME.
August 6, 2000
I've run out of my own supply of "Personal
Computer Secrets," so I will no longer be offering the ability to
purchase a signed copy directly from this web site. Copies are still
available, however, and you can purchase one directly from Amazon.com by
clicking here.

I've updated numerous pages on the site to reflect the new time slot
(or old one, depending on your perspective) for "O'Donnell
on Computers." I've also added a page about
the Computer Press Award that the program won and improved the Java
Chat page to encourage even more people to participate in the weekly
live chat. Finally, I've also
added a link to a new review of "Personal Computer
Secrets" by the Washington Times on the book's Review
page.

Starting next Saturday, July 8, "O'Donnell on
Computers" is going back to its original 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
time slot on KSFO. The program's
format and content will remain the same; it's simply moving to a new (and
better) place in the station's programming lineup.

I'm very excited and pleased to announce that "O'Donnell
on Computers" was named Best Overall Audio Show in the 15th
Annual Computer Press Awards, sponsored by the Computer
Press Association, an organization of professional computer
journalists from all types of media. The program competed against both
web-based and traditional over-the-air computer radio shows in the prestigious
nationwide contest.
June 9, 2000
In honor of "O'Donnell
on Computers'" fourth anniversary (or start of the fifth year, as
I prefer to think of it), I've made several upgrades to the site. First
and foremost, I've added my long-ago promised article on "Home
Networking and the Internet" to the Troubleshooting
Guide. You'll find both a regular and printer-friendly
version. In addition, I've also created lots of new links on the Troubleshooting
Resources page, including many that focus on home networking-related
issues. Finally, to keep things up-to-date, I've made a few tweaks to the "Computer
Shopping Tips" article.
May 13, 2000
Thanks to a deal with Voquette.com, I now finally have a way to
download and record "O'Donnell on Computers" radio show
archives. You can find out more on the updated Audio
page.
May 6, 2000
In order to improve the RealAudio performance of "O'Donnell
on Computers," we've added a new RealAudio server for the live
feed and this year's archives. As a result, you may need to adjust
bookmarks you have made in the past. I also made a few minor tweaks to Dr.
Rom's bio page.
February 18, 2000
I've added an updated index file
(in Adobe Acrobat .PDF format) for my book "Personal
Computer Secrets." The index is freely available to both existing
book owners as well as anyone else curious to see the types of things
covered in the book. The new index improves on the existing one printed in
the book by offering both more entries as well as more complete references
for existing entries.
January 15, 2000
I've updated the Troubleshooting Resources page,
fixing a few broken or mislabeled links and removing the Y2K section. I've
also completely removed the problematic EverythingComputers Discussion
Board and updated my Consulting page.
January 1, 2000
I've updated the site for the new year, adding
1999 archive pages for RealAudio,
Links and News,
and What's
New, as well as a few other minor changes. I've also added
information on my upcoming live radio broadcast
and have removed links to the EverythingComputers Discussion Board because
of continuing problems with it.
