Our HowTo section this month takes a look at the Wayback Machine. This online tool allows you to view almost any website at various dates going back many years. While many probably use it just to see how their favourite websites have evolved, it can occasionally be a very useful tool if you need to find something from your old website.

Did you know you can "donate" some of your machine's processing power towards fighting Covid-19 and other diseases? The Folding@Home project sends chunks of data to devices all round the world for them to analyse and send back to them. This month's HowTo explains the very simple steps necessary to get this up and running on your device.

A few months ago, we explained how to make a drive on your own computer available on a machine you're controlling from elsewhere using a remote desktop connection so you can transfer files between the devices.

Your machine is grinding to a halt. Excel has just taken 30 seconds to work out what 4+4 is. You try and open your browser to Google the problem only for that to take 2 minutes and the internet to crawl along slower than a dial-up modem. What is your PC doing? Here's how you find out.

Almost all of us will have been CCed into an endless email thread that has long moved past being relevant to you (or was never relevant in the first place).
