Today’s featured tech tip….
Do you need two screens on your computer?
Do you spend a lot of time on social media sites, reading blogs or news websites, or performing most any other text-based activity?
If so, you could probably benefit from adding a second screen to your computer.
You can leave the first screen oriented horizontally in “landscape” mode for watching videos and performing other tasks that simply work better that way, and rotate the second screen into a vertical “portrait” orientation for reading long blocks of text, Facebooking and doing other things that work better with a vertical screen.
Trust me, once you give portrait mode a try you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.

Rick’s Daily Pick…
Anker 47W USB-C Charger (Nano 3)
Could this be the perfect travel charger?
Well, it is for me because it’s compact and easy to carry, yet powerful enough to charge two USB-C devices at once (or charge your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air on the go).
And as I’ve mentioned so many times before, I love Anker products!
Today’s post from ‘My Daily Smile’…
My 7 favorite Yogi-isms (aka Yogi Berra quotes)
There will never be another Yogi.
