Message from John 
 
On August 2, 1939 Albert Einstein wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt concerning the growing possibility of atomic weapons. "A single bomb of this type carried by boat and exploded in a port, might very well destroy the whole port together with some of the surrounding territory." Six years later, on August 6, 1945, the first Atomic Bomb, developed by the U.S., was dropped on the Japanese port of Hiroshima.
 
Among many things this anecdote speaks to profound understatement on the part of Albert Einstein, the evolution of technology, and our capacity to use technology for destruction. My take away from this is to understand the crucial role that CIO plays in mediating the relationship between your business and burgeoning technology. We greet each new advancement with caution and curiosity. Evolving tech can both increase and expand your productivity, but it can also open you up to new vectors of vulnerability.
 
Excited about something new? Interested in how the latest tech can work for you? Don't hesitate to call us and ask for advice. We have any number of resources who are tapped into  the latest trends and who would be very excited to talk to you.

Tech Tip: 6 Quick Steps to See More Recently-Viewed Documents!
 

If you're like me, you love that you can quickly jump ahead to open your recently-viewed documents or excel spreadsheets using the "recently-viewed" arrow. Introduced in Windows 7, this handy tool has only one drawback - by default it only shows you the last handful of documents. Since I'm constantly opening and editing dozens of these things, I want to see more!


 



To do this, follow these 6 quick steps:

  1. Press the Start
      Button

  2. Right-click on the
      blank space on
      the start menu
      and click  
      Properties.








  3. Select the Start Menu tab

  4. Press the Customize button



  5. Increase the number to as many recently- viewed as you would like! I recommend keeping it around 15-25.

  6. Press OK to save. That's it!

Having the GasBuddy app can be a driver's most convenient app yet! The GasBuddy app can help track down the closest AND cheapest gas stations within a user's area. Any user who has the most recent gas prices can help other users by submitting their most updated prices straight through the app.

GasBuddy gives users the chance to win $100 in Free Gas every day by reporting gas prices to earn points. At the end of the day, one lucky winner will be chosen from a drawing.

This app allows consumers to help each other out to save money on gas.
