Legal Notice from ComputerHobbyShop.com

Privacy and Purpose
No collection of private information occurs here, unless you consent that you need something shipped to you, then it is shared only with a shipper, so it stays private. After years with an I.T. Degree as a Certified Trainer and training thousands of everyday users in over 70 cities for companies like Apple and Microsoft, I'm now retired from big business and I enjoy being the author and your personal host at ComputerHobby Shop.com, a site funded primarily through donations. If you enjoy it please consider a small donation. Thanks!
