What’s new….
My Monthly Tech Giveaway is back!
Long-time subscribers to my daily Rick’s Tech Tips Newsletter will remember that I used to feature a monthly Tech Gadget Giveaway that all active subscribers were eligible to win.
I ended up having to suspend that giveaway due to the onset of the Covid pandemic, but now is the time to bring it back – better than ever.
The prizes featured in the new giveaway will include a combination of items I received for testing and review and brand new items that will provided directly by partner companies.
Winners will be selected at random. All Standard subscribers have an equal chance to win. All Premium subscribers have two chances (their email addresses are added to the pot twice).

Today’s featured tech tip….
This is the best way to scroll a web page
If you’ve been using the Internet for more than five minutes you surely know how use your mouse to scroll up and down a web page in your browser.
But did you know there’s an even easier way to scroll, using your keyboard?
Here’s the secret…
Press the Space Bar.
Yep, that’s it. Just press the Space Bar when you get to the bottom of the screen and the page will scroll down exactly one screen worth of text and images, beginning with the line just after the one you just finished reading.
Need to scroll back up? Well, that’s pretty easy as well…
Just hold the Shift key down and press the Space Bar.
