Taking out the trash

Seems in the past few weeks a bunch of old tech favs have fallen by the wayside.

Piriform’s Ccleaner had a bad security breach that left it’s utilities hacked and without a clear response and explanation on how their security failed so badly are now off my list of recommend software.

AIM Messenger, once a classic instant messaging platform is calling it a day. Now if AOL will just stop scamming all the computer illiterate with their AOL Desktop software I will be happy.

And Today Microsoft admits that they are now out of the phone business. Letting Windows 10 mobile die off. If not so gracefully.

The one rule in technology is it always changes, and I am happy to see the above fade away in favor of more modern,  secure and helpful technology that I can tell my computer repair clients about.
