Oh, Shoot... I shouldn't have sent that!

I've done it...and I bet you have too!

You write an email, You hit SEND and then you think.... OOPS I really shouldn't have sent that!

Maybe it was a not-very-well thought out response....
Maybe it was a snarky response....
Maybe you put the wrong person's name in the TO field...
Maybe you just sent something quite personal but hit REPLY ALL by accident.

OR... worse!

If you use Gmail, you now have a recovery option.
Gmail now lets you "turn on" 'UNDO SEND" and cancel an email within 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds.

You need to turn this on as follows:
You need to first log in to your gmail at https://mail.google.com/

1. Then, to enable Undo Send:

   1. Click the gear in the top right .
   2. Select Settings.
   3. Scroll down to "Undo Send" and click Enable.
   4. Set the cancellation period (the amount of time you have to decide if you want to unsend an email).
   5. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

IMPORTANT: IF you use Firefox as your browser...

Then you will want to update it RIGHT NOW so that you are running the most recent version.

Why? Because it has a significant security flaw.

The good news?

It's easy to fix. BUT you should do it right away.

Here's how:

1. Start Firefox. (Windows users, enable your Menu Bar by right-clicking on the settings icon)
2. In menu, go to Help > About Firefox or File > About Firefox, depending on your OS
3. Firefox will automatically start checking for the update and install it
4. Click Restart Firefox to Update
5. Go back to About Firefox and check that you are running v39.0.3

If that doesn’t work for whatever reason, then click on this blue link to>> download the latest Firefox version for your operating system and install it.

Simple! Fast! Thanks!

If I install Windows 10, am I going to lose my....

... programs?
... data?
... settings?
...favorites?
... all those little "tweaks" I've made over the past years that make my computer work "just right!"

???

Well, the answer is... IT DEPENDS.

But, don't be scared... be prepared.

I found this on one of my favorite websites.... I'd recommend that if you're not a techie, you just skim it and study/ read closely just those sections that seem to apply.
