Question from Lona: Hi, Rick. I have a really short question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.

5-Seater vs. 7-Seater: Which one should you go for?
You’re probably newly married, and on a tight budget so every decision must be thoroughly thought through because you can’t afford to make one bad purchase.

Q&A: Why does my new computer keep the wrong time?
Question from Kevin: Hi, Rick. I recently bought a HP laptop running Windows 11, and ever since I first brought it home it’s been keeping the wrong time.
It’s always 1 hour behind, and if I change the time to the correct time it just reverts back to the wrong time all on its own. It’s about to drive me bonkers!
Do you think it might be a bad CMOS battery or maybe a bad motherboard? [Read more…]
