Who is Bob Rankin? - Comments Page 3

I always have and do look forward to your articles in my email. I believe I have learned as much and probably more from your site than everything else I've read on the internet since 2003. So this is a thank you and well done for interesting, informative, and entertaining information that is well received and anticipated by me.

Hi Bob, I've been reading since Tourbus and have purchased many of the things you have sold and recommended, just bought you backup cd and downloaded the bonuses using your recommended Foxit free reader.
Apparently my OS (Vista) isn't recommended and I had some trouble with my printer spooling when trying to print their user manual. Did you know that their customer service is in China? They sent me a URL to buy their version 6 downgrade of Foxit Phantom PDF but I am very wary about installing anything else from them. Do you know if I will still be able to read your bonus PDFs that I have downloaded after I remove Foxit? Any suggestions?

If I place the comma outside the parenthesis, will this faux pas prevent my comment from being posted?

Bob,
I've stopped receiving your blog posts, but when I try to resubscribe, it tells me to use a different e-mail address, which I don't have. Please remove this e-mail from your DB, or figure out why I'm not getting your mailings.

They ARE NOT going to my spam folder. Already checked that.

thanks,

Ralph

You passed your *Turing Test*?? But, Bob, you look so very human!

Hey Bob, remember me from RPI? Your bio on this page ends around 2005. What's been happening since then?

Ah, all my friends think I am a computer guru with such a technical mind, but little do they know of my little secret, Bob Rankin. Between you and Google I can find answers to nearly all computer issues, thus it is a symbiotic relationship, but Google can not give me what I get from you. And that is trial by fire, the thousands of hours you have spent figuring out solutions for aspiring gurus like me. You have saved me huge blocks of my life, therefore enabling me to go out and enjoy the world. I salute you for this. I am fascinated with the history of computing so I loved your background story. Keep those articles coming and thanks again.

I have a hard time reading your articles.
I’m 79 years old and need to have larger text than you provide.
I use an iPad Pro 11”. Most web sites allow me to zoom the text and/or use reader view.
That doesn’t work on your site. Apparently your articles use hard line breaks. Zooming pushes the end of the line off the display. The text doesn’t flow around to the next line.
Would you please fix this? I’m sure your older readers would appreciate it.

I've subscribed to Bob Rankin's newsletters for about 25 years now. He is an excellent and reliable source for wending your way through the computer and software jungles. While not everything will be applicable to you personally, when one is will be the time he has saved you money and time and has given you a solution to your problem(s).

It is free of charge and I highly recommend it.

Thank you for your "Who is Bob Rankin" article and blog. I am trying to remember when I first subscribed to your tech support blog, but it is the only one I come to for answers to my questions about computers and the Internet (and other things, too). You are the best when explaining things to people at any level of understanding. Again, Thank you.

Hello, I'm a fan. I have a charge on my credit card statement for $37 on 4/18/24 (for I believe some security information--hard to remember it's been so long!), and I'd like either that information OR my money back.
I've emailed this request twice before. Sorry to do this here, but I can't seem to get through to your office.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Debra, I replied on April 25 with download links. Just emailed you again as well.

OpenOffice is free and complex but it's smarter than me. When I type a letter it puts spaces between letters I don't want, corrects spelling to unintended words, , and decides the sentence I'm typing should go to an earlier part of the letter. There are supposed to be ways to correct these features but I can't find the instructions. Can you provide some pointers or suggest a different program? For your information, in typing this message I had to correct seven of the problems I mentioned.
