It’s been an awesome time recording but it’s been a BETTER time hearing back from listeners and how the tips from the show have helped them!But now, I wanted to take a minute to let you know that the show is improving in many ways!  In future episodes we’re going to introduce new segments, talk to guest speakers, and hopefully provide other useful information of interest!The important thing though is you don’t unsubscribe!  It’s going to be a little while before the next episode of RFTF comes to your feed but when we return, we’ll have brand new content for you and we’ll be delivering the same fixes to keep your tech running and your day going.  We’ll also be moving to a monthly format.  I apologize for this; as much as I’d like to continue doing it bi-weekly, I want to make sure you get a variety of material in each episode, so I hope you’re looking forward to that aspect.  So!  Keep it here for more Really Fast Tech Fixes, check out the Patreon page in the meantime for any updates, be sure to email reallyfasttechfixes@gmail.com, and thank YOU so much for listening… until next time!!Support the show
