Don Charisma

Forget Cortana – or any other built in search in Windows … Enter “Everything” …

Have you ever tried to search for a file on your PC, and waited for that progress bar creeping slowly up as the minutes and hours pass, and never actually found the file you were looking for ?

Intelligent Spam, Picking Best Photos And My Social Media Links

Don Charisma

I remember I was quite offended at the time. It was fairly soon after I started my blog in 2014.

I’ve made maybe 70 transfers with them by now, each of which went flawlessly. It’s a service I use regularly, and is convenient and efficient for helping manage my money, and saves me money.
