Tech How-To Columns:

The Cyberwalker column has a devoted computer audience
that has been gaining momentum since its inception in 1995.

It is a Dear Abby style weekly advice column that answers readers' tech questions in an easy to understand format. (Andy, coincidentally, shares a birthday, July 4th,with Abby and Anne Landers)

The column covers the whole spectrum of technology use and has answered questions as simple as how to copy and paste or as complex as how to install a second hard drive. Targeted at small business users, tech-curious consumers and families with a computer who are keen to learn more about their equipment.

Columnist Andy Walker avoids jargon, though when it is necessary, he explains terms in as much detail as possible. These How To columns are just the kinds of files that get bookmarked and/or forwarded to even more readers.
