Sharing IT knowledge with the World!

Welcome, and thank you for stopping by Fix My Broke PC. I understand the inconvenience of switching sites and it has been a tough decision again as I considered what I wanted to be able to do with my Blog and the limitations of Blogger. Please bare with us as we work on finishing up a few internal touches on the website. We’ll be adding more links to other tech blogs that we follow and links to common programs that we use. Also, we are going to work on becoming more consistent with our blog posts. As the site grows and more contributors come along, those post times should increase. Until then, Thank you for being a follower of Fix My Broke PC and I look forward to sharing knowledge with everyone.

It has been a complaint by many that AT&T requires a Data Package Plan with all new service subscriptions for their flagship phone, the iPhone. Even if you purchased the iPhone intending to use it with WiFi only, you are required to subscribe to the $30 a month data plan.

If you are on a budget (like me) and want to take advantage of all of the features of the iPhone(while being bound to wifi) there is a workaround.
- Purchase a cheap pre-paid AT&T phone (I believe there is a phone for $9.99).
- Activate the Phone/SIM Card (You should be able to port over any existing number).
- Once the phone is active, remove the SIM card and place it in your iPhone.
- Enjoy!

Today I’d like to send a warm welcome to both Robert Gagnier and Chris Brennan for joining Fix My Broke PC. They are both skilled individuals, Robert is a programming guru that is not limited to but specializes in Visual Basic and Chris specializes in Linux / Unix Distributions and open source software. Their talent will be well appreciated and we look forward to learning from both of these individuals and sharing their wealth of knowledge.
