Articles and Links
We've written articles on a variety of computer or RV related topics over the years. They've been paper handouts for live audiences, they've been email 'newsletters' and they've been posted as web pages on various sites. This page is an attempt to link to all the articles we think may be of interest to the Geeks on Tour audience. Since July 2007 we've been writing a monthly newsletter. You can view them on the Newsletter Archives page. You might also like to browse our Weekly Articles on RV.net's blog.
