When it might be time to switch back to cable

Individual streaming services do not offer all the content you may want, and subscribing to multiple ones adds up. Plus, there's the added cost of internet service. If you enjoy watching network TV, streaming services might seem less practical. Here are some reasons why it might be time to switch back to cable.

Quick tip of the day

The first thing you notice about a computer after its hardware is the desktop. Is yours filled with a countless number of thumbnails? While this makes it convenient to locate files, it can result in a mountain of clutter if you don’t practice some organization skills.

If you have several files and programs you rarely or never use on your desktop, delete them. Simply right-click on the application or file and select Delete. This will not delete the program from your computer, but it will remove the shortcut from your desktop.

Now it’s time to organize the icons. Don’t waste time dragging icons around your screen. Right-click the screen (not an icon) and select Name, Size, File or Date modified under the Sort by option. For Mac users, check out Apple’s how-to guide. Now you can arrange your icons into neat rows.
