Joel Michalec Show 169: Tech Throwback

from The Joel Michalec Show

Welcome to The Joel Michalec Show Featuring The Lovely Sharen. Tonight we review another type of scam to be on the lookout for..Sweepstakes Scams. Obviously, as with other scams, they use real world variables and maybe things you heard in the news to prey on you and make themselves sound as legitimate as possible. Be on the lookout and use your defenses to make sure that these and other scams do not catch you off-guard. We also updated the news on #Microsoft Windows 10 and how this may actually be the last version. Like Mac they will just come out with evolutionary changes to the system. Something they maybe should have considered with Windows XP. In our regular segment, we de-Geeked bits and bytes and what they mean. How can we understand what they are when talking about hard drives and storage? Well we took it all the way down to bits and ran through the calculations to the petabyte level including putting them into perspective.
