Hi there!

I’m Rick Rouse, an A+ Certified Computer Tech with over 40 years of experience in the IT field.

I love sharing my practical, easy-to-follow tech tips, and I’d love to share them with you via my daily Rick’s Tech Tips Newsletter.

 

Here’s what you’ll get when you sign up…

You’ll also receive a special “Featured Tech Tip” that I hand-pick just for my newsletter subscribers and your tech questions will take priority over questions asked by non-subscribers.

And finally, all subscribers to the Standard edition of my Rick’s Tech Tips Newsletter have an equal chance to win my monthly Tech Giveaway drawing.

Here’s what you won’t get…

You can always unsubscribe at any time (but I promise to try my best to make sure you never want to)!

 

 

Important: After you sign up for the emails be sure to add my email address to your address book or contacts list. That will prevent your email application from mistakenly sending my emails to your SPAM folder.

You’ll find instructions for doing that right here.
