Google Juggling

It's not uncommon to have more than one Google account. I know I have several, though I'll admit I'm an extreme case.

If you do have more than one, Google actually makes it relatively easy to use them both (or all) at the same time. It's also easy to get a little confused as to which account you're using for what.

I review the official way to do it, and then what I actually do instead, in How Do I Use Two Google Accounts at the Same Time?)

Also this week

• Uninstalling stuff. (The stuff you don't need.)
• Recording stuff. (The stuff that helps re-create a problem.)
• Touching stuff. (The touchpad, specifically, and turning it off.)
• Naming stuff. (The basics: parts of a Windows window.)

As always, links below.
